I really am puzzled by this and the communications breakdown (what it seems) lies solely with the airport authorities and handlers ~ swissport I believe at Stansted? As well as that this no service ban Ryanair have on the ground is ridiculous and I fail to see how they can't carry it out obviously not alcohol, but in a disruption situation are you telling me with an aircraft on the ground as long as that and you keep doing trolley runs you aren't going to make more money than if it had departed on-time??
It seems like the easiest situation to rectify, no refueling available thus the flight can not operate - release the pax cancel the flight, crew off duty - simple for Christ sake at Cork, the terminal is always open! MAG doing a lot more behind the scenes to build profits?
