PESTLE analysis if you are including legal and environmental.

Airlines are a good one because so many different things affect them.

Political - Taxes that they get charged in different countries for landing, fuel taxation etc

Economic - e.g. How does interest rate movement affext their longterm debt? How as their economic performance compared to the market sector? P/E ratios etc. Oil prices increasing, is this affecting their profits from increased fuel costs?

Social - Safety measures they employ on board and on the ground. Polulations growth - does an ageing poulation affect them i.e. baby boomers, lots of people in that lifestage have more disposable income to spend....

Technological - As things improve technology becomes cheaper. How does this affect them? Does this mean the entries to barrier are lower for competitors to join? Do easyjet have a big R&D dept?

Legal - Different legalities of different countries - some stricter than others...

Environment - carbon offsetting, what is their CSR policy?

Remember when you are answering that easyjet are a budget airline and so their competitors are people like Ryan air - not Virgin... Hope that helps

    The threat for easyJet of new entrants stems mostly from rival budget airlines flying short haul. Capital requirements are high to establish an airline, and there are already signs that the market is becoming saturated (which may lead to an eventual market rationalisation). easyJet already enjoys economies of scale and therefore has a cost advantage over any new entrant. The brand is well known and highly publicised, again, something which a new entrant would struggle to replicate.…

Also, the landing fees went up because of the increase in the air traffic and the airport terminals.
