Ryanair sees winter passengers up 20 percent; Milan airport talks 'going nowhere'

"11.10.07
Ryanair's Chief Executive, Michael O'Leary, forecast today that demand during the winter season would be 20 percent greater than it was for the same period last year. He also said that talks on its proposal to fly out of Malpensa airport in northern Italy were proving unsuccessful.

Mr. O'Leary told a news conference: 'Demand in terms of passenger numbers will be strong. We expect it to grow by 20 percent over last winter.' In September the airline enjoyed passenger numbers up 23 percent on the same month last year.

On the Milan hub talks, he said: 'Two months ago [the talks on launching flights from Malpensa] were very positive and going very quickly. Now they are going nowhere.'"
