Malta

For some it will be too late as they will have booked with another airline and another airport by now as they will want their first choice accommodation.

Nobody expects Ryanair to operate unprofitable routes but are you saying that the route only operated as a gap-filler until something better came long?

An expensive gap-filler for BHX if that is the case, by helping to get rid of the long-established operator and only for the new operator to abandon the route in little over three months. Okay it might well be that Air Malta were going to pull-off anyway but still something doesn't add-up here.

If Ryanair think that they can't make money in summer on a route with such a mature established market, I think BHX's problems are bigger than what I first thought.

In my opinion the route should have been EMA-MLA in the first place (before BMI Baby stepped in) but hey what do I know?
