easyJet says providing feeder flights for long-haul makes sense

Thu, 08th Sep 2016 08:42

LONDON, Sept 8 (Reuters) - The CEO of Britain's easyJet said it would make sense for the low-cost airline toprovide feeder flights for airlines like Air France,which fly long-haul routes from European hubs.

There have been suggestions that easyJet, Europe's no.2 lowcost player, and Ryanair, the continent's biggest budgetairline, could provide feeder flights for long-haul carriers forover a year, but so far no deal has been struck.

"It would make a lot of sense for us to offer feed. Thething for us we have to think very carefully about is that itdoesn't contaminate our model," easyJet Chief Executive CarolynMcCall said at a conference on Thursday.

"I think it's inevitable that over the next five to tenyears there will be much more of that happening, there will bemany more alliances and partnerships where low cost feeds thelegacy carriers." (Reporting by Sarah Young; Editing by Victoria Bryan)
