I see Ryanair much more interested in CIY (Comiso) rather than CTA.
Smaller airport, no other airlines...that's why FR is not gonna blow up this chance and it is gonna start flying there soon (though i dont really know if the whole structure is ready to start getting used yet).
It seems that BRI and BDS have already been chosen... actually I've heard Ryanair just wanted BRI as a base but the "Puglia airports company" (AdP) forced the hand until they both (MOL and AdP) got what they wanted.
@pee I'm italian...just fond of your motherland/tongue
Ryanair nowadays seems more interested in setting bases/routes where there's someone willing to pay for them.
It's clear that it makes a higher revenue to sell seats for £1 and fly with empty planes if you've got (well) payed to do that.
And recently MOL is putting up those fights around Italy which I guess has become his personal cash cow.
So most of the times it's not really a matter of how full planes are/how brilliant LFs and yields are, it's more about how much money he is given...and probably TMP is not worth having those raises of frequency.
