i dont understand this, they say they are making a good profit from manchester, then drop the routes???? i would rather eat my hat than fly from liverpool airport!!!! and ryanair if your dropping 9 routes, why dont yo take dublin as well, let a more decent airline take it over..... goodbye.
They won't take Dublin 'cause that would give EI an upper hand for the crowds that go to matches and the large Irish contingent in Man. that travel to and fro.
Something tells me they've done their research on this one and either found people are willing to travel that extra bit to travel with Ryanair or the position of all three satellite airports will in effect serve a larger catchment area and at the same time give Ryanair a chance to get a dig at Man Airport Authorities. If that is the rationale I'm in admiration of Ryanair. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds...
