The RYR cuts seem at odds with massive expansion up North ?
Wasn't the expansion recently mentioned for BHX, LBA and NCL for summer 2017 with schedules now on the RYR web site? Not sure what's happening at those airports for winter 16/17 but certainly MAN has got new Ryanair routes to Germany for this coming winter.
It will be interesting to see what Summer 2017 looks like for the MAG airports when schedules are loaded.
