Haven't been on here for a while. Seems I haven't missed much
Well said 10 D. I will be very surprised to see Ryanair on this route competing with EZY, LS, TCX and TOM. Can't see the airport upsetting 4 based operators to let Ryanair on the exising route and then move on in 12 months time. All new routes and rates will be well negotiated before an airline announces a route. Especially in this current climate.
Some one mentioned runway extension: dream on. It's never going to happen - no requirement. Except for a double daily EK A380
