Traffic figures for all airports available on CSO website, free for all to view and evaluate loads etc ryanair want the best deal at every airport they operate to which is exactly as you would expect and it's clear they are reducing capacity at cork until they get a deal like they did at shannon etc my own thoughts on stobart air is that given ryanairs move in on Manchester that it's inevitable given their bases in the likes of Bristol , Edinburgh , Birmingham that there is a high possibility they will move in on these routes over time especially given they operated them a few years back ?? That's my opinion for what it's worth and could be completely wrong!
