I should imagine that the restricted hours during which passenger movements can be scheduled must have some impact on easyJet's thinking. It obviously wasn't a deal-breaker two years ago so I doubt it will be in the future and as long as the SEN operation overall generates sufficient revenues my guess it will stay at about the same size as now. Whether or not that means a 3 or 4 aircraft base for 2015 will become clear in due course - probably the former is my feeling.

As others have mentioned I likewise find it odd that KRK is being dropped. I had heard that it was adversely affecting the LGW-KRK route, and it did look that way in its early months, but recently both routes seem to be achieving good loads and yields.
