Bases, hubs, secondary hubs and focus cities
Where the total number of bases / hubs / secondary hubs and focus cities for an airline is 10 or greater and listing all of them results in an excessively long infobox which disrupts the formatting of the rest of the article, consideration should be given to using collapsible lists for this section, for example at Easyjet and Ryanair.
