First of all, my information is straight from the horse's mouth - whether you agree or disagree, it is nonetheless the company position. Regarding the presence of 600,000 people or 5.5 million people, it depends where you draw your circle! I would not want to comment too much one way or other but I think you will find that outside the 600,000 mark you get into the realms of other airport options. What is clear to me is that our company just felt the yields were not there and that these aircraft would make significantly more money elsewhere - almost certainly outside of the UK. My own view is they are probably right and it is difficult to argue with that view from a commercial standpoint. Trust me - no one loathes a victory by Ryanair over us more than I do, but it is difficult to argue the commercial case as laid out by easyJet.
