Charlie - go easy on ASFKAP. I doubt he/she meant harm to the good people of Zweibrucken
Well he/she could pay them a little more respect if he/she didn't. It's not the first time this has happened.

but Ryanair have a greater tendency than other airlines to fly to places which really are a long way from population centres
Is there a problem with this?

The fact that the route lasted only 12 months indicates that there were very few people willing to pay substantial amounts of money to fly Stansted-Zweibrucken.
Possibly, certainly doesn't prove it wasn't a profitable route for Ryanair. The average fare is far from being the most important factor on many of it's marginal routes.

If few people are willing to pay for a product, this generally means that relatively few consumers needed or wanted it enough to pay for it
Thanks for that.

Phew! Thats alright then, we can go on Lufthansa.......
ASFKAP, yes Lufthansa from Heathrow or London City to Frankfurt, with a ground connection to Zweibrücken would work OK too.
