Easyjet aren't saying anything remotely surprising
You're right, they're not and I don't think this is the first time they've said it.
In any case, Easyjet was quite a different beast 10 years and its commercial focus will likely change further between now and 2024.
Totally agree. Also, a lot can happen in 10 years. In fact, it was 11 years ago when everyone thought it was Stansted that was getting another runway. 11 years on and we're really no closer to a decision about where the latest strip of tarmac should go.
The Davies Commission may recommend a location, but it still depends on whether the government takes any notice of it. Also depends on which party will
actually be in government. We may end up with Boris Island after all....
