At least 2 of the EZY aircraft were scrapped because the cost of changing the interior configuration from EZY lo-cost to a mainline European operator was too expensive. Would have needed new trim, additional galleys and new seating, etc. Both were 2004 build.
Interesting. All of the rest of the easy 737-700s did find new operators, so what was so different about these two, especially as the 3 that were scrapped were 3 of the newest ones? With a LCC interior, maybe Southwest could have used them with minor modifications, at scrap price they would have been a bargain as 733 replacements.
This whole situation is financially driven - and is very wasteful. Looking at the pictures I don't see the Jet Airways aircraft flying again, look at the Cyprus A319s, that isn't even a type with low demand!
