I love this from Ryanair!

FAILING EASYJET HAS TO ADVERTISE FOR AIRPORTS!

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 low fares airline, today (13 June03) told Easyjet, that it only has to look at www.ryanair.com if it wants to know where the best low cost airports are in Scandinavia.

Ryanair’s Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons said:

“Easyjet don’t seem to know the locations of low cost airports across Scandinavia, so rather than waste millions of Euro advertising, they can find them for free at www.ryanair.com.

For years Easyjet has being trying unsuccessfully to get slots at high cost airports, and charging high fares. Now they are losing money, so they are looking for low cost airports. Trying to copy Ryanair is becoming a habit with Easyjet, as they also recently announced fuel hedging for the first time – just like Ryanair.

Over 40 airports are looking for Ryanair – Easyjet have to advertise for them. Airports know which airline delivers No.1 passenger numbers, No.1 low fares, No.1 punctuality, No.1 Customer Service, and No.1 route network – and that’s Ryanair, not Easyjet.”
