I think its more likely that MAG have their sights on STN and GLA/EDI, therefore offloading its smaller airports would make sense, perhaps even EMA!
Closing either BOH or HUY would not be without cost, and I fail to see the benefit of closing either of them down. HUY couldn't be used for much else.
It also seems to be a bit of a pop at Government due to increasing cost burdens. Still though not the best way of going about it like Danscowpie says.

With Ryanair constantly failing to be down and up again in the allotted time of 25 minutes (the fastest so far being 33 minutes) it seems the finger of blame is being pointed in just one direction towards an individual company.
According to the Duty managers every other company involved are managing to get their tasks finished in time, where as A.N. OTHER is failing.
Even the refuellers are on time now.
NOTE - NO MENTION OF COMPANY INVOLVED!

33mins is actually quite good for ryanair... yes a 25 minute turnaround can be achieved but will be very very hard on a longer sectors such as Alicante where the re-fueling can take 20 minutes alone and the loading usually close to full each way! Dont forget turnarounds are calculated chocks on to chocks off not wheels down to wheels up...
Check some of the turnarounds at DSA, LBA and even STN their biggest UK base and you will see despite handling in excess of 20 turnarounds an hour at times on a daily basis they will rarely achieve 25 minute turns. Hundreds of factors can cuase this, just intrigued to find out what you mean

Tonto, The refuellers have always been on time, the fact that they cannot pump until the PRM's are off loaded is what delays them....Ryanair's own procedure!! so quit the jibba jabba until you know!!!

but if its an early arrival?
... joining the discussion late ... if it is anything like DSA does a 25 minute turn around really matter that much when they're frequently landing +15 minutes early???

Its always the same in new airports. It's actually a 20 minute turnaround door to door, with the 5 mins for the F/D to do their final checks and call for clearance.
Unless the handling agent preboards PAX as the A/C pulls onstand, it's very difficult to achieve. Although it is regularly achieved in all aiports (well, maybe not Italy!!) and is doable, but it takes some getting used to! Preparation is key, with the PAX assebled -40 and pre Q checks done in the 15 minutes before the A/C is due onstand.

Anyone know if Ryanair are to return next year? The annual MAG accounts suggested FR yields are strong and it opens the possibility for other services for summer 2012.. Also said that KLM loads are building up again and hints at another long-term agreement having been made.
FR load factors have been around 80% so far, though I suspect August will see the highest due to school holidays.

I doubt it Tonto68 is full of these statements and not one has come true. I sincerely hope I'm wrong this time as this would be excellent for HUY, But I'm affraid this guy has cried wolf too many times.

To name but a few of Tonto68's previous 'tip-offs':
As Samuel Beckett says in Waiting for Godot: 'We wait. We are bored. (He throws up his hand.) No, don't protest, we are bored to death, there's no denying it.'
serious talk of Thomas Cook adding some completely new destinations for 2011 (as opposed to NEW destination Tunisia which HUY have actually had before), and also FlyBe!
Keep your eyes peeled. All I will say is 'three letters and one number'
i can assure you that with this one, you CAN hold your breath!!

tonto68, thank you for giving us all the rumours.
However, you may have gathered that 95% of people on this forum quite like rumours which actually come to something, as opposed to non-news - that is, as I'm sure you'll agree, totally pointless. Perhaps get at least some sort of confirmation before posting them online.
