I agree wholeheartedly with the point about some runways not being suitable. Case scenario- Galway Ire.
Heres the but though. Ryanair have already said if runway is extended then they will operate there and bring x-miliion passengers a year.
Not likely by galway airport financially, so I believe they have offered to fund the extension. This I must add is only a rumour and I having nothing concrete to back the most recent statement up.
Is galway that important that ryanair need to invest so much into it, or is it just a dominating of the market kind of thing. I am not for one second suggesting that galway is not important but maybe for the likes of operators like Aer Arann, my opinion leave them to it- bigger fish to fry etc etc.....
Kids for free- good idea but what happens when the school of our lady in ballymuckerish wants to go on school tour to rome with four fare paying teachers. interesting concept though. Would work with a few more rules perhaps.
