On the contrary I would say.. the minibus is a fine aircraft, flies like it's on rails and never had a bad experience with it as a passenger.
Was especially impressed when I flew with jetBlue NYC to Florida on the 320.

Didn't easy cite the wider aisle of the 320 as a reason for choosing it, seen as a wider aisle means passengers are embarked and disembarked quicker.
Mytravellite manages a 30 minute turn around on their Belfast route.

Wider aisle, bigger doors, no cramping into a narrow bit at the front and back.... Lots of reasons for wonderjet choice.
Just surprised to see nothing on easy's website about the signature, though. What engines are they putting on there?

Alex,
Easy has signed for 120 aircraft plus 120 options at the same price as the 120 aircraft. The 120 options can be converted or cancelled at any time, just like any normal deal. So Easy will definitely recieve 120 aircraft, but the other 120 are less definite.
