I'm delighted that both Alicante and Tenerife are back.

I do agree with Carnmanorlad's comments though. With such a large fleet, why are RYR bothering with the routes for two months? How much revenue will they get from roughly sixteen flights from LDY to TFS for instance? All very strange!

Also, I wonder where the person who edited the CODA wikipage got the pax stats for Dec from. The CAA doesn't issue these until tomorrow. Were they released in the news or something?

Lastly, for the potential future route development of the airport (i.e. 2013 and having "thinner" routes), and more importantly than the return of Alicante and Tenerife, I think it's essential BE come back with MAN for at least the summer. If they don't return, I can't see any other airline starting from CODA anytime soon, and as such this rules out routes like EDI, BRS, NCL etc, as a 189 seat plane is waaaaay to big to sustain these.
