Exasperated

Err I was replying in general to the comment re full service carriers, I don't
see any mention of IT flights or loco's other than EDI having extra Ryanair
still not adding many pax.

Lyon - twice weekly easyjet (Loco) compared to double daily AF full service.

Why do you keep quoting loco destinations MAD, MXP, TXL? They are not
operated by full service airlines!!!! Okay I mentioned Aer Lingus but old habits
die hard, I know they are not full service although the last time I flew
with them they felt like one compared to others!

EDI - Up November +1.3% and 3.7% in October with two extra 189 seat planes which is 55000 extra pax based on 80% load factor for 30 days.

The point I was trying to make is that the Ryanair was masking the drop
in services by the full service carriers in the winter. To be honest the
summer increases were not that brilliant some months either.

Even February was only up 20000 and Ryanair probably would added
about 40000 pax although I do realise the based aircraft were not
always in the air.
