On recent bookings I haven't seen much evidence of Easyjet weakening their margins to compete on the Gatwick run.
Just booking for post-12th-July travel and they're coming in at over twice the price for Ryanair, comparing the 20:00 nose-to-tail departures ( £28 versus £13 ). For £2 more than Easy squeezy-class I
could book Ryanair Business Plus.
Still ridiculously cheap compared to 1990s fare levels but I don't think Easy are planning on competing on price. Which is a shame because we book with them, but good in that they're not going to bleed on the route.
