Aer Lingus / easyJet fire first shots

Last week easyJet fired the first shots in the Battle for Gatwick when it announced three new Gatwick routes in direct competition with Aer Lingus. The routes are to Munich, Zurich and Vienna. 
Today, Aer Lingus retaliated by announcing that it was offering £9.99 one way, all in fares to Munich, Zurich, Vienna, Knock and Nice for travel between April 6 and July 15. Aer Lingus Corporate Affairs Director Enda Corneille said that the airline was "prepared to put our money where our mouth is when it comes to securing our low cost position at the airport".
