EZY @ SEN
Remember why easyJet came to Southend in the first place, after a charges row with Stansted. They've patched up their differences and are hardly likely to 'runaway' from the arrival of Jet2. EZY are themselves beginning to focus on higher margin package holidays, so all the more reason to fight it out at STN. easyJet operations at SEN have hardly been a resounding success. None of the domestics worked with EDI, BFS and NQY all gone and longer sectors constrained by operational issues. Only my view, but Southend will do well to hang on to EZY with their current capacity and it's just as likely that some or all of their current SEN ops could move across to STN.
