Thats a very interesting point.
However it doesn't hide the fact the place has been mismanaged. And with no change in ownership or management will continue to be thus. Any contracts with airlines should have been written properly, and with clauses on income etc. Bending over just to attract Ryanair when its not making you money is just vanity.
The runway will be 1200m long this time next year so its all academic anyway.
