Good to see that Basle has some decent routes. Interesting to see Hamburg added to the network. There are quite a few easyJet destinations which arent served from London yet, wonder if they will in the future? (Murcia, Riga, Pisa, Maastricht, Hamburg, Paris ORY)

Ye the German LCCs should watch their backs with Easy starting flights from HAM. I dont think we will see a huge easy presence in HAM becasue a certain Irish airline with a base in Lubeck may have somthing to say about it.

Yep, great news, Hamburg an interesting one, not currently served by Easy, maybe Hamburg will get services from the UK Easy bases pretty soon.
