Sure, at some of the fields with a hut that LiarAir use, but certainly not at LGW for example, where easyJet must be the biggest operator by flight movements and passengers by now, having overtaken BA some time ago.
I'm sure BAA (operator of LGW) offer EZ no more or less favourable terms for psc's than to BA, so how come BA's flights from LGW attract such extra charges which EZ manage to absorb?
