[Ryanair has] one great advantage in Finland: you are the only one low-cost carrier that counts here. Did you take profits having such a profitable position? Not at all.
people have really started to expect some new destinations, became more excited and what? Nothing happened.
I think there is nothing wrong with the potential for no-frills in Finland. Tampere does have good load factors, no need to complain. Maybe you Finns are just too straightforward and honest people to make any ”special deals” with Ryanair?
The FR's policy of route planning seems much more complicated than only following the demand. And in general, all its economy rules are somewhat unusual. Take Poland. Dozens of flights every day from UK and Ireland. You would believe the costs of running a base were much lower in the ”new” European Union member states, wouldn't you? The main reason being the labour costs still significantly lower than on the Islands. But all those planes still depart and return to the old good bases in the UK/Ireland, Polish bases are still mainly in the verbal plans. Why? Equally hard to explain as the reasons of your Finnish frustrations. But hey, WizzAir is coming to Finland in a few months. Did you know it?
