Racedo: You are too selective in your thoughts. There are some big players at Manchester, both EU & international. I doubt they or MAN are setting out their business plans at the whim of RYR. They are new-come bit players relative to the older residents. MAN has been a major airport long before RYR rose from the ashes.
I do not doubt RYR has brought many riches to many regions, but to say that MAN has 2100 job dependant on RYR is a speculation too far.
