AENA, the managing group of the airport had also provided evidence that RyanAir was actively using air-bridges at the airports of Madrid, Gran Canaria, Barcelona and Malaga.
They have no choise when it comes to using them in Malaga, Madrid, Barcelona. All those airports want all airlines to use them unless it's not possible. They also use them in ACE.
They have nearly always used them in BCN, AGP and MAD but as they didn't use them in ALC until recently then I can see where they are coming from. ALC shouldn't of build a new terminal with all airbridges.
They could easily move the services to Alicante South (Murcia) which is closer to Alicante than Beauvais is to Paris.
That may well happon with the new airport in Murcia to be operational by summer 2012. As the airport won't be operated by AENA I wouldn't be suprised as I'm sure they don't have any airlines lined up to operate from the airport.
On another note Ryanair may close ther Reus base for a few months next winter.
