Well said. EK77WNCL
RYANAIR aren't stupid they have done there homework and to come in on PALMA daily shows that they have found a gap.
Yes those figures from ALC were a massive increase and they were not all sold at £20
Most were well over £100!!
It is stated that only based aircraft brings in investment???
If that's the case then look at other airports
Heathrow only makes money from BA/VS
so what happens to the 30+ AC,AA,DL flights per day they don't bring anything to Heathrow??
LTN has loads of flights from WIZZ but only 1 aircraft is based there??
Again no investment to LTN
I understand that by investing means having the plane based here creates more but the way of pilot and crew jobs but still that aircraft needs gate staff and refuelled, catered etc
Smaller investment maybe better than trying to get a base.
Those passengers will still park car at airport still buy drinks at airport pubs so still there is money coming into the local area
