Ryanair Routes By-Passing MAN
BAGSO - Thanks for your comments. The list below summarises routes offered by Ryanair from MAN's four neighbouring competitors [EMA LPL BHX LBA] but not served from MAN itself on RYR metal.

CARCASSONNE - EMA / LPL
DINARD - EMA / LBA
LA ROCHELLE - EMA [Served from MAN by FlyBe]
LIMOGES - EMA / LPL / LBA

From this list, the glaring gaps at MAN appear to focus on Poland, the Baltic States and Regional France. To the newly recruited MAG executive who recently stated that MAN had all European routes covered ... not quite! Plenty of homework to get on with there. No room for hubris or complacency! Fifteen destinations there completely unserved from MAN (after allowing for services to same-region airports OSL/RYG, VIE & VCE).
EDIT: LAX_LHR - Thankyou for your correction ref Valencia (I've only just spotted it). When I checked the RYR online timetable last night, MAN-VLC showed no flights for the Summer months. However, this must have been a glitch as (following your post) I have re-checked and they're showing again. Twice weekly - as you say.
So corrected figures: MAN offers 218 departures / 436 movements pw for S15. 41202 return seats pw; 82404 seats pw total.
MAN dropped routes is FOUR (not five).
When I make a mistake, I'm very pleased to note that its such a positive one! A route I hope to use as well.
