easyJet have also been 'scared' of introducing or expanding routes in Eastern Europe due to the big presence of Ryanair & Wizz Air in the region. But they seem to perform well on routes like Budapest, Prague, Krakow & Sofia. They are also very slow at adding capacity where needed, as Krakow should currently be 2 daily to deal with the demand on existing flights. One route they could have operated from Gatwick is Warsaw, but Norwegian beat them to it and now they are performing well on the route with approximately 8,000/9,000 passengers a month. easyJet need to work at the market and advertise themselves to attract more traffic originating from Eastern Europe. With easyJet being to slow and sluggish with growth, Wizz Air are now encroaching on easyJet's territory, which could see a blow to easyJet small collection of Eastern European routes if Wizz Air continue to add routes to/from Gatwick.
