So why have EZY only just decided to axe the route when they have competed with W6 who fly on a much higher frequency for many years?
Either they have operated a route that hasn't performed too well for many years (given the competition by W6) and therefore should have been axed years ago OR they have tried to compete with W6 on a level they are never going to meet and have decided its time to pull the plug.
So EZY have axed their flights and effectively given a load of existing customers to W6 to fill the extra flights they've just added, plus giving them 100% share on the route. EZY may well be able to do better on other routes, but they have just allowed W6 to do even better on theirs, its worked wonders for FR down the road at STN.
