The fact that DUB STN is Ryanair's biggest route and the fact that Dublin is the home base, Ryanair would literally give away the seats for FOC to kick EZY's ass.
I do not understand what the problem is with this fear of FR. Even if there are flights for free alot of people just will not fly with them. If EZY were to persist at DUB and grow the product there, the god like status of FR would start to fall away. I think the fact that operators are kept away from DUB out of fear is unhealthy. Dub is like nearly the size of MAN, its not like Prestwick. Is it not illegal within EU law to operate at a loss on routes to push out competition? If it is not illegal DUB airport should take a long hard look at itself and try to reduce the dominance of FR and the low revenue it probably generates by finding ways of breaking down this fear of airlines using the facility. What the people of Dublin really needs if this does not work is another airport!!!
