What this airport needs is to develop the areas of its business thst it can profit from and differentiate from the competition with.

The competitive landscape is too great, so I'd suggest exiting the passenger flying market. Glasgow international has scored Ryanair and PIK will always be a good card to play for FR in bargaining with GLA. Any growth in services ex PIK will as a result of competition with GLA come with very limited return. Therefore it is my view that passenger operations are not sustainable ex PIK. The only way it can continue is by way of government funding. I don't know how this is justifiable given proximity of GLA.

If PIK did exit passenger ops, where would Ryanair stand in terms of its maintenance base/ hangar???
