So Ryanair comes to Belfast, passenger numbers go through the roof, will the subsequent profits reflect that? I remember having a chat with a Harbour manager years ago at a function when Ryanair were there and he was lamenting the fact that although it looked fantastic on paper the numbers didn't translate into cash.
The trick will be to keep the established airlines happy, in this case Easy, if they spit the dummy out then Aldergrove will not be in a happy place. I would find it strange though if Ryanair go head to head with Easy when they would have a relatively free run down at Harbour but who knows! Aviation is a strange marketplace to try and guess.
