New Ryanair Base - UK
As mentioned in a previous post the obvious gap in the UK market at the moment is the North East of England. Three poss airports 1, NCL, 2 LBA and 3 DTV. Cant see it been NCL as they have two locos already based there in the form of Jet 2 and Easyjet and I am not sure they would come up with the financial package. Leeds/Bradford has Jet 2 with a wide spread of routes and Company HQ at LBA, again not sure they would come up with the deal they would make the airport attractive to FR.
My moneys on DTV, they are desperate for a new opertor since loosing flyglobespand and before that BMI Baby. Just look at the departures board to see how services have slumped, sometimes 5 flights a day, I am sure they would give FR whatever they wanted to get them in. Knowing FR I would imagine that DTV would quickly be marketed as NCL South.
