Basically the contract initally was not too bad as it was designed 4+ yrs ago when Ryanair had a few Aircraft, but it's structured to lose money as Ryanair adds Aircraft. The more planes Ryanair has the more loss Fls will be making. . . . . And for the past 2 years Ryan has grown and doubled their fleet and is growing by 2 a month, so the Fls situation is getting worst by the day.
Negotations are still going on daily, but as I said so far Ryan is likly to start first with their own Line opperation.. . The problem when they do that is they have no where for AOG's or a check and stuff requiring a shed as the current Fls line contract covers it all.. . So for a problem above, Fls will have the upper hand now and they will have to pay a premium rate for the facility.
Ryan air seems hell bent on pissing on people that help them in all forms of their opperations.
Having just gotten rid of their handling agents and the A/Craft cleaning company who served them well for years while they were also losing money on their Ryan contract also......
As I said good luck to the new parties getting in bed with them, it's going to be a long hard road ahead!!!!!!!
