Just seen RYR has bought another .9% in Aer Lingus bringing them up to the maximum allowed before having to bid for the entire company.
As for the hedge on fuel, does anyone know what local deals may have already been done when RYR started operating to a particular airport or when they set up a new base ?.
RYR will still be there for several years to come.
A jet rating is better than a turboprop so go down that route if you can afford the cost, otherwise do what you can afford and stick there like glue until there is an upturn again in the market.
