Definetly another aircraft for LPL (so at least 7, maybe 8) , however the aircraft going to EMA and MAN are new aircraft but the one/two at liverpool is a re-introduction of the one/two that was taken out a couple of years ago. This seems to have caused a bit of confusion.
Ryanair will announce an increase in aircraft if they will base more than the year before. East Midlands had 7 in summer 2011 but dropped to 6 in 2012. They have announced an additional aircraft so it will go back up to 7 in 2013. In that case, because Ryanair had 7 or 8 in 2011 at Liverpool, but only 6 in 2012, they would have announced an increase in aircraft if that were to go back up to 7 in 2013, but because they have not, it will remain as 6 for the time being!
Am I right in saying that yout theory suggest that because East Midlands had 7 in summer 2011, but 6 in 2012, the announcement of an additional aircraft for 2013 would make it 8 in your case as one would be a re-introduction to it's previous record along with an additional one??? If so, then that is not correct!
