Faro - 2x weekly
Fuerteventura - 2x weekly
Gran Canaria - 1x weekly
Knock - 2x weekly
Krakow - 2x weekly
Lanzarote - 3x weekly
Malaga - 4x weekly
Prague - 2x weekly
Tenerife - 5x weekly
Riga - 2x weekly
Wroclaw - 2x weekly
No flights at all on Tuesday or Wednesdays.
Considering EMA used to be one of Ryanair's biggest UK bases only in the last 6-7 years or so, this is sad to see.
Seems their focus is increasingly heading towards BHX.
Despite Ryanair's MAN growth however, LPL and LBA seem to hold their own reasonably well. Is this going to become the latest blow of MAG seemingly not giving a stuff about trying to grow the passenger side of the EMA operation?
I wonder any incentives are tapering off making what whatever incentives BHX offer more attractive? Alternatively perhaps its part of the trend of Ryanair gravitating towards principal airports.
PAX aren't the be all and end all for EMA, unlike most UK airports there are two major strings to their bow.
