Easyjet om Norge: Den sjansen har gått

Egentlig ikke noe nytt som kommer frem, men vet ikke om Easyjet tidligere har sagt det såpass åpentlyst at the ikke er plass til dem i Norge (og Sverige)

anna.aero: easyJet is not particularly strong in Scandinavia or in neighbouring Finland. You only have a significant presence in Copenhagen as well as a single route to Stockholm Arlanda (having pulled out of both Helsinki and Gothenburg, and never having served Norway). Do you consider Norwegian’s rapid expansion and large aircraft orders too big a threat to take on in those markets?

McCall: If there was an opportunity in Scandinavia, we missed it. It is a market in which two airlines are fighting each other, so we see greater opportunities for us elsewhere. For example, we see opportunities in Switzerland and in France where we have just opened new bases in both Nice and Toulouse as well as started serving Lille. There are also opportunities in Italy, for example in Milan after Lufthansa pulled out of its Malpensa base and at Linate where the Italian competition commission just ruled against Alitalia’s monopoly on the route to Rome Fiumicino. These are markets that we understand well.
