Lisbon is one of the most slot constrained airports in Europe, RYR (and others) unlikely to get what they want until the airport invests in runway capacity enhancing measures. TAP were obliged to relinquish some runway slots in June, RYR were after them but the EU allocated the 18 former TAP slots to EZY. Hence the BOH news. Meanwhile as recently as yesterday TAP announced measures to counter the lack of LIS slots including use of larger aircraft, so don't hold your breath!
