EasyJet to open two bases in France in bid to scupper Air France plans
10 October 2011Low-fare airline easyJet will announce that it is opening two new bases in Nice and Toulouse – a pre-emptive strike against Air France.
The move is an attempt to steal the thunder from the Gallic flag-carrier, which has recently unveiled its own plans to operate a low-cost model from new regional bases.
Air France opened a new base in Marseille on October 2 but is stuck in negotiations with the unions over other bases, including in Nice and Toulouse.
