I never thought I would be saying this, but Ryanair is spot on.
If BOH / MAG can't attract other operators then they should back peddle faster than a polititcian and give Ryanair whatever it takes to get them bringing PAX back to Bournemouth.
Ryanair offer the only credible opposition to FlyBe and who are not going to move from SOU in a million years, ( except when an A/C is likely to crash then they divert to BOH
)
Like Curry's pay your VAT, why don't BOH pay Ryanairs passenger air duty tax ( and the other operators as well, or that would be unfair ) ( like that's never happened before !! )
Let's face it the situation is desperate and calls for action now or BOH will be a Bigger white elephant than the spanking new one the put up on Montreal's doorstep that is now abandoned.
