I think you have to be realistic. Ryanair are flying to Bergamo and Stobart cannot compete with them on a cost basis. I know they’re different airports but they are both marketed as Milan, the average cost cautious traveller will choose Ryanair.

Stobart have successfully shown route viability with easyJet and Ryanair PRG BUD DBV BGY REU VCE DUB to name a few, that was its sole purpose.
