easyJet must be reassured by Aer Lingus on Dublin - Ryanair have not come back on to the route to kill them off.
Are you kidding, the fact that FR are not flying so much tells easyJet that the business is not there in winter to any great extent. And as for easyJet coming to Dublin will never happen, the only way easyJet would come to Dublin is if they wanted to do Southend or Paris Cdg, routes FR would never touch, and Geneva is also another one but FR would go there to keep easyJet out.
With easyJet focusing on key market areas such as Milan for expansion and now that 50% of revenue comes from outside of the UK, the only reason that I could see them looking at Bournemouth would be to hit Flybe hard ex Southampton and attract some of their clients over, easyJet have been quite focussed on taking Flybe on on some of their thinner routes, but starting up a base to do so with all of the costs involved, I am not so sure.
