Hi ssflyer - never ever get Ryanair rumours at BHX and all we have to go on is the Guardian article yesterday which was about the UK but only mentioned Manchester and Stansted as their biggest bases and it did not read well for next summer. Whether it is Ryanair posturing or mis-reporting who knows and we will have to wait and see but absolutely no reaction to the Thomas Cook loss but there again the same could be said of TUI although of course both should have been operating the MAX.

They don't seem to have the stomach for the fight at BHX at the moment and it appears they are getting smashed by Jet2 at least frequency wise. As an example in February 2020, Arrecife Ryanair a pathetic 2 a week down from 3 and Jet2 from 5 to up to 9 a week.
