Well any remote chance of Easyjet starting flihgt to DUB have now been evaporated.
They have decided to drop LGW-ORK,NOC and SNN due to poor loads on the latter two and ORK is faring much better.
As soon as EZY announced these routes Ryanair started new services from London to all 3 Irish airports and obviously Ryanair have won the battle in Ireland.
It will be interesting to see if EZY are forced to pull route from any of there UK bases with Ryanair now expanding at a number of EZY bases.

Pretty low I would guess, Jet2 have a big presence, and the majority of routes Easy operate would be the same as Jet2.

Thats a shame, but I suppose it was always inevitable, Ryanair seem to be able to force any airline off any route they compete with.
I doubt easyJet will pull any routes from bases which Ryanair also operate, they very rarely compete on the same route.

Doesn’t suprise me. EZY charge more then FR on those routes so they couldn’t have expected to be successful.
