It is surprising that the Manchester-Madrid route should go from 3 airlines (Iberia, Easyjet and Ryanair) to none in a short period of time - even if Govt / airport tax rises 10 euros.
I recall a few years ago a similiar collapse occurred on the London-Nantes route. Shortly afterwards I think flybe reopened the route.
I would not be too surprised if next summer or in 2014 one carrier decides that with the other 2 players gone that it's worth restarting the route
