Copenhagen

I think it is important to discuss this issue with Copenhagen!
So EasyJet transferred their service from STN to LTN.

But the airport management at Luton then allowed FR to then operate the same route a few months later and now that the 'foreign' airline is able to undercut the British airline due to paying a very low tax in Eire on it's income-as opposed to what local companies here in the UK (on par with other European Countries) pay then surely EasyJet (and any other European Airline not based in Ireland) has a disadvantage on any routes it operates and in effect Ryanair could undercut any airline within Europe?

Seems to me the Eire Government are subsidizing their locally based businesses and that should be addressed not just here in the UK but throughout the whole of Europe!

Should Ryanair transfer the CPH services from LTN to STN then I hope the current leaseholders of Luton Airport learn a lesson!
