Not really, as clear cut as that... As there are a number of cut backs this winter, Girona doesn't operate during the winter months.
Athens, Malta, Marrakech and Murcia for example all see there schedules reduced to match the slower winter demand.
If you go to the Ryanair booking page and select a destination, and scroll through the monthly calender view, you'll see how the frequencies change from October to Novembe, when the winter schedule kicks in.
I think a few of Ryanair's flights into LTN are usually operated by aircraft from other bases (especially some of south European destinations), and quite often during the winter months these bases shut down for winter or see reduced aircraft based there. It is therefore likely, these flights might be using the LTN based aircraft in lieu, and hence why reduced schedules to other destinations are required.
