But easyJet do not have any bases in Croatia, Poland or Greek Islands, so to serve these EZY would have to set up base operations in Southampton which is very unlikely at the moment, which is why serving Southampton from their European bases is more likely.
I agree that 2 airlines on PMI is adequate for SOU, but it creates competition and means the passengers can have a choice of more frequencies and cheaper air fares. Also, Flybe are very uncertain and have stated their intentions of inkeeping as a 'regional' UK airline and phasing out E195 aircraft.
