MAN777 - many thanks and much obliged.
One thought occurs to me, is that if MAG control both EMA and STN, is there a potential for some sort of less-than-competitive rivaly between the 2 leisure-centric airports ?
I suspect the absence of a rather hilly national park means that traditionally there has likely been some rivaly between STN and EMA.
With a more regulated STN and a less regulated EMA, but owned by the same controlling body, how would Ryanair likely react to how they schedule which routes are flown at which times ?
I know that STN and EMA serve different core markets (London versus East Midlands) but there's enough people in places like Cambridge, Peterborough and Northampton for whom both airports are viable that any overlap is significant.
Anyone have any thoughts on how much MAN and EMA effectively compete with each other in recent years ?
