also ryanair could pick up about six of them if they came back
Why the constant preoccupation with Ryanair?, when they last operated out of Cardiff they offered very little and it was basically picking up slack on a Bristol route. They had an opportunity back then to do many more routes but chose not to so why on earth would they consider Cardiff now when they didn't when they were operating from the place?
Ryanair are not some great saviour a couple of posters seem to think they are.
