If this cloud has a silver lining (and assuming that flights to/from Stansted continue) we'll have seen the last of the mayhem which sometimes occurs when several Ryanair flights depart within a short period of time, with late gate changes compounding the problem from time to time.
I see from the "Heathrow" thread that Clickair is abandoning the LHR-VLC route. Will BA resurrect its plan to fly from Gatwick, I wonder? The other player from London, of course, is easyJet. It'll be interesting to see its schedules to Valencia.
The figure of 750 local jobs being lost quoted on Ryanair's website is pretty much in line with the numbers I've read in the local press. I can see local businesses putting considerable pressure on the regional government to get back round the table with Ryanair.
