Charlie Roy, maybe you know the facts about Ryanair going to fly from MAD to Granada, but I can assure that "the initial idea" from Easy is to fly there as well as the Canary Islands along with other destinations that unfortunately I do not now about. I do not know if at this point in time those plans have been or will be thought over.
Also, Ryanair was approached by AENA ( not the other way around). They were offering them a good deal on slots from Barajas. My understanding is (coming from a source working at AENA) that Ryanair wants more slots that those being offered by AENA.
The main problem at the moment comes from an unexpected source, SEPLA, the spanish version of BALPA....
I stand correct to what I said before Charlie Roy, and if you have any conflicting info, my apologies...All this is coming from a couple of friends that are involved in this process. I do not know if they are 100% right...
