Cyrano (Lappeenranta / Russia issue)
I
did answer your question, but unfortunately it's gone as my text went to the last page of the Ryanair-7 thread truncated after the database error.
Anyway, if you are interested, I just came across the
English-language publication made by (probably) Russian-born bachelor of Business Administration from Finnish University, analysing the market potential of Lappeenranta airport towards Russia. His thesis are from May, when the flights have just begun. Many
details you can find there.
This week Ryanair started its new connection to LPP, from Charleroi. Amazingly (or should it really be such a surprise?) and in spite of low-season, the first flight from Lappeenranta to Belgium was almost sold-out and the LF approached 100%.
