skip, i knew about the hangar build well before xmas, the airport were confident ryanair would choose pik, but ryanair were trying to get xtra grants and funding, so your not far away with the "bribe" tactic. typical ryanair! hard nose buisness accume if you like? could anyone explain what is meant by a "w" pattern. cheers
Using aircraft based at other airports. For example, an aircraft doing the following. Dublin-Nice-PIK-Nice-Dublin.
This would mean the airport would have a steady stream of passengers all day, rather than a rush for 7 departures between 6am and 7am and then periods of zero departures when the PIK aircraft are all down route.
