Ryanair
"We need more aircraft and an ongoing good deal for us to be able to take more of the capacity that we have coming on stream to work.
"The region needs the best marketing plan within Britain to get people around Europe to visit Yorkshire.
"So I would always ask that never say that the marketing plan for getting Europeans to visit Yorkshire is good enough, just constantly do what we are doing about 'always getting better'. Always work at it because the guys over in Liverpool and Manchester are working on their plan to get people to choose Liverpool or Manchester over choosing Yorkshire.
It's really quite clear what RYR are getting at as regards LBA. Sort the airport out (as much as possible) and give us a better deal. Hence the drop in routes.
The airport appears to be stagnating now under the current owners.
