I read an interview with RTM representative who said that RTM didn't want to prostitute itself to Ryanair.
Well they can always hedge their bets on Europort Express!
History tends to show that those airports which don't want to prostitute themselves usually end up doing so, although I would have thought at RTM they would also face a slots / noise issue.
It wasn't too long ago that suggestions were being made that FR was looking at AMS too. Surely that airport is far too large for them - and I don't mean in terms of capacity, or the fact that the Ryanair gates would be an hour's walk from the entrance!
I await MST routes with interest - iirc, it has been served before from STN, like GRQ?
