Blackpool Council today on Radio Lancs blamed Jet2 for the closure of Blackpool Airport to commercial flights citing their contract with BB was heavily in favour of Jet2.
I would suggest that Ryanair's was more heavily in favour of them. I was once told at another UK airport all Ryanair was prepared to pay was £1 per departing passenger for all the facilities required for 2 flights per day.
In other words £376 per day (maximum) to cover ATC, Fire Cover, Check-in, Security, check in etc. Against a published charge of around £7000 - 8000
Go figure
