Yay. HUY are £1000 in the red already after their crap effort at getting RyanAir turned round in 25 minutes on Tuesday. A matter of 45 minutes later the plane took off again.

Must try harder, and get the refuelling done quicker or it could cost the airport a lot of money!
Achieving a 25 minute turnaround on most routes and on most LCCs is achievable. However, Ryanair have some very daft policies, at least at the airports i've worked at, which in our opinion are designed to put any delays down to various parts of the ground crews. e.g; PRMs can't be offloaded/boarded during refuelling, which can take around 20 minutes sometimes!!! That leaves you with 5 minutes to board/offload PRMs. Not to mention they insist if there is more than a certain number of PRMs that they are loaded at the front and back in equal numbers, a long process if you only have the availability of one ambulift....

Finally I would like to point out that HUY would not be the ones in the ''red'' as you say. It's the ground handling / fueller / ambulift etc who would be the ones in the ''red'' if a delay was put down to them...(should they not be able to prove otherwise). HUY would actually be better off as they would then be getting paid by ryanair as they have gone over their planned parking time.
