Lisbon may be the home to an easyJet base since the capital is on the shortlist of candidates (competing with Barcelona, Amsterdam and Copenhagen). A new easyJet base could represent €1.2 billion in revenue over a six-year period, according to the Lisbon Tourism Board. The low-cost company already flies to and from Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Funchal. The British no-frills airline currently flies to 119 airports in 29 countries, and most recently Fiumencino, Rome, where four aircraft are stationed. easyJet has a fleet of 189 planes, with plans to increase the number to 208 by September of 2012, an expansion strategy that has caused an easyJet founding member to quit the company.
