Its the deal....
Believe me...it all depends on the deal that the competing airports are willing to do with Ryanair that will tip the scales.
The deal will be based on cheap landing fees / and the lowest per head charge that the airport can offer the airline. Indeed, when you do the maths on some of these deals it amounts to the airport operator paying Ryanair to fly there.
Now under Peel ownership DSA/MME both have the opportunity of a deal being done - indeed with the Thomson retenchments at DSA and the loss of Baby at MME - both would be keen to get Ryanair in.
For LBA, under its new owners - its fair to say Mr Parkin has a sizeable war chest to spend on route development, however he needs to tread a careful line and not upset the incumbents!
Of course (for LBA) adding extra services during what is rumoured to be a 24 month period of extensive terminal constuction might be a problem! Likewise for Bridgepoint to make a return on any deal with Ryanair they need to have the revamped terminal delivered with the ability to earn from more retail / parking and the suchlike. Fastrack security anyone?
Time will tell!
