RIX charges, KUN

About RIX having much lower charges than DUB, ask any Lithuanian about how RIX and AirBaltic killed-off their national carrier. FR pays very little at RIX too.
Let's see how KUN-Greece goes, KUN had some reductions (notably BER - which was picked up at VNO by EstonianAir), and just like e.g. HHN, they heavily subsidies all new FR routes. No surprise though MOL finally shows his face in Vilnius, as this is were the holiday flights leave currently (charters like Small Planet), also to tempt the capital city folks to that little airport near the Second City. And his big rival Wizz will soon have the stronghold at VNO, not good news for MOL, really.
Finland, sure, they have much more money than the folks in LT, but you surely also have a saturated market of flights to the sun with charter airlines. Otherwise TUI would send some more planes. And Finns are probably more demanding w.r.t. decent service from an airline, and would they go to TMP in masses instead of going to HEL ("No pun intended !" .) Interesting economic indicator, that.
