You forgot to mention Loganair. The best way to The Highlands of Scotland and of course KOI where I work 😉
easyjet won't even connect internal easyjet->easyjet flights from the same terminal so I am surprised they would offer connections with other carriers.
Actually there is a bus run by the airport that will take you between the north and south terminals airside, the catch is it is before you clear immigration so it only works if you have no checked luggage. We did it this Past June, arrived from Calgary on AirTransat and connected to EasyJet to Venice. (Yes not exactly aspirational airlines but it was Cheap!!!!). We didn't utilize it on the return as we checked bags, bought too much!

"WestJet announced the purchase of up to 20 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft; 10 are firm orders with delivery to begin between 2019 and 2021, and 10 are options for delivery between 2020 and 2024."
There is a false agreement , any employee at EasyJet know that EasyJet Worldwide exists and at Norwegian too, and if you loose the connection due to the bad organization of Easyjet , Norwegian will not help you neither no one will refund you .
