I have to laugh, Ryanair was the airline that stated it would withdraw all UK EU flights if those stupid Brits voted to leave the EU yet it continues to open up new UK routes post Brexit.

Going back to Southend and the battle of Wizz and Ryanair. This is just a stupid move that will act against the interests of the airport. If Wizz withdraw the routes after loosing money they might well pull out of Southend rather than trying other routes in the knowledge that Ryanair could launch spoiler routes as well.

Southend serves next to nowhere and now we have this when there was enough cake to keep everyone happy. No doubt the bum counters here will be shouting about high passenger figures in the coming months and then will be surprised when it all ends in tears.
