So to break even, the...

They either need to get back to this level, cut costs, or increase...

You only pay fees on departing passengers, so half the passenger figure (assuming everyone who leaves, comes back). The airport is therefore making £2 per passenger.

You don't need to "buy back" Ryanair. They used the airport in the first place because they got a better deal than GLA was prepared to offer. Now GLA has offered them a deal that they found...

I live in D&G, and for a few people I know PIK is the main airport they use. At the end of the day it comes down to price and destination availability. If the flight they need is available from PIK,...
