(ANSA) - Milan, November 17 - Low-cost airline Easyjet could
increase its presence in Italy even after the planned opening of
a new base in Venice in February 2016 and the arrival of new
planes to boost operations in existing bases, its director for
Italy Frances Ouseley told ANSA on Tuesday.
When asked whether the company would consider opening new
bases, Ouseley replied "yes absolutely".
"Italy is one of our main markets. We are constantly
monitoring new opportunities," she said. "Of course, for
opportunities to be feasible we need to find a match in terms of
airport costs and infrastructure," she added.
She declined to name any potential "candidate" cities as
she said it would be premature and each year the company
reassesses the best options in all of Europe.
Easyjet reported on Tuesday that annual profit for the year
to the end of September rose 18% to 686 million pounds - its
fifth straight year of record profits.
