Was told this morning that Ryanair and easyjet have been offered exclusive use if T1 at manchester with no landing fees for 4 years, plus Easyjet seriously considering exiting there liverpool base. T1 will become solely a low frills terminal and T2 will become home to the rest”
It’s not often that commercial terms being offered are leaked into public domain, as in the tweet above.
not being from the aviation industry, my questions arising would be:
- is this a potential distortion of the market by virtue of scale?
- is it in the long term public interest?
- do such changes fall to the CAA to rule on?
Does this point to a consolidation in the industry, with a smaller number of large airports surviving post Covid?
