It seems very obvious to me that MOL's eventual goal is to have a monopoly on the Irish market without any competition from EI or FlyBe. If he takes control, Aer Lingus will be halved over night and in 3 years time probably won't exist at all. In FlyBe, he has picked the perfect airline as there is no way they could compete with Ryanair once he can reopen overlapping routes in 3 years time. In 3 years time, (if he gets it) Flybe will be run off the all their routes by Ryanair, as they have done countless times before to other carriers. EI will be gone and the the only way in or out of Ireland will be with Ryanair. How is this good for competition? How could this be allowed to happen to a profit making?
