Ryan base at MAN
Rumour is that Ryan Air would love to open a new base at Manchester Airport and put 10 B737-800s into there.
The problem is that Ryan Air and Manchester Airport don't seem to be able to come to an agreement. Manchester Airport is not used much and has an empty new runway. Maybe the airport management should close the deal with MOL and get loads of passengers transiting in the airport and spending money in the shops...
I reckon it would be a great deal for Manchester Airport even if Ryan Air didn't pay any landing fees.
