No to MOL at El Prat
Ryanair will be a disaster for all airlines at El Prat. The problem is overcapacity at the airport now Teminal 1 is complete. Ryanair do not provide good competition regardless of what the industry says. MOL will destroy the airlines that are currently on the route first then expand to other destinations. Whilst Ryanair is keen to destroy all competition, the airline does not take into account that the EU will break them up if they become too dominant. Airlines like Ryanair have only been able to take on these incumbent carriers because of EU airline deregulation which has forced flag carriers to allow other airlines on to their routes. The problem with MOL is that he and his airline is not just saitsfied with competing on a route, they undercut all competitors and push them out. That is not fair play and not what deregulation was designed for. If they enter El Prat it will be bye bye to Girona and Reus. Thousands of jobs lost in other parts of Catalunya for the greed of MOL and his shareholders. In the end it will be the passengers who loose out. Maybe not in the short term but it is on the horizon.
