easyJet and Ryanair battle it out

EASYJET is to increase its Basel Airbus A319 fleet from four aircraft to five next summer following Ryanair’s (FR) decision to close its base at the multi-nation airport from 2 December.  Using a rare opportunity to gloat, easyJet says that this decision will more than compensate for Ryanair’s withdrawal.  No new destinations have been disclosed as yet, the FR routes going being Alicante, Cagliari, Marseille, Porto, Skavsta and Stansted. www.easyjet.com
