Ryanair at MAN
I thought MO'L's language was noticeably concilliatory today as he talked of the need to concede on airport fees if his airline is to grow business at MAN. There was no attempt to suggest that MAG had come back bearing gifts. 'Mutually beneficial' probably captures it. Mr. O'Leary has talked recently of the need for a presence at mainstream airports and MAN has off-peak capacity available, particularly at T2. MAN is taking up an opportunity whilst maintaining its policy of doing business which offers a reasonable return, no give aways. I admit to having been an FR-sceptic but 'This could be the start of a beautiful friendship'.
