If it is the case that the passenger side is where the losses are, should these 700,000 passengers not be paying an extra £8.50 in landing and take off fees. Did the committee ask how much Ryanair paid at Prestwick compared to what they pay at other UK airports?
There was very little discussion specifically about Ryanair and their use of the airport.
