Carolyn McCall explained easyJet’s plans at an expanded Heathrow:
“easyJet would open a base at Heathrow (in addition to our other existing London bases - Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and Southend) enabling easyJet to provide new routes and increase competition on dozens more UK and European routes.
“This would include new services to Inverness,
Isle of Man and Jersey and increased services and more competition for Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Belfast as well as new and increased services for many other key cities including Amsterdam, Geneva and Zurich.
"easyJet's costs are significantly lower than legacy airlines so even allowing for an increase in charges at an expanded Heathrow easyJet's fares on these services would be lower than those paid by passengers today.”
