Its all well and good for FR managment to bitch, moan and threaten to pull out of certain airports. Well go ahead then, pull out! Do it, leave the small airports because they too want to make a bit of money! So then when FR does pull out of these countries, where are they going to put the aircraft then?
How much more expansion is there in Europe? Are we nearing the stage that the FR growth has slowed down due to the amount of airports that either already deal with Ryanair, or those who dont want to deal with them? It will eventually get to the stage that airport managers will say no thanks ryanair! Then you might see them parking more than 20 aircraft in the winter.
Basically, you can bully someone for only so long before you end up on the losing end yourself. How long more can ryanair bully the european airports?
