A very detailed prediction there, EK. I can see Milan (MXP) happening. Did Jet2 not start Budapest in the last couple of years or so, or did I imagine that? Places like Budapest are cyclical - they burn themselves out as soon as everyone in the North East who wants to go there has gone there. Riga and possibly Lisbon would probably be the same. Luxembourg is a really nice country, but I'd be amazed if anyone could make that work from NCL. And as I've said a few times on here, inbound tourism isn't big enough to even enter into the equation when we're talking about international routes.
Just one question, EK, and no disrespect is meant by this, but why do you think Ryanair to Malta would be nice? That would, imho ,put paid to Easyjet on that route.
