I would really like to know the reason why BA doesn't fly to international destinations from Scotland.
Is it because Scotland doesn't have a National airline?
In Ireland Aer Lingus flies to many international destinations.
Ryanair doesn't just fly to Eastern Europe from Scotland,but also to interesting destinations in Spain and Italy,so it's not only to get cheap labour into the UK.

BA Is for British people, who include Scottish, Welsh and NI. . . Scotland is still apart of the Uk, so it does have a national airline, which is BA.
Don't forget Scotland only has a total population of a little over 6 million people. More people live in London alone.
Back to the forum, Ryanair does tend to fly to sun routes from PIK, but at the end of the day, it will only fly where the demand is.

"BA is for British people,who include Scottish,Welsh and NI"
The above phrase does not even merit a reply
(except for this one of course!)
As for the size of the population I think Eire only has around 4 million but Aer Lingus manage to fly to places other than London.
"Ryanair does tend to fly to sun routes from PIK"
Not sure of your definition of a sun route but maybe 3 or 4 routes from PIK could be called that but not the other 24

BA may not operate the flights themselves, but they, as I have said before, can get you from a beach in Northern Scotland to anywhere in the world. Name another airline that can do that!
I do agree that EI are able to operate outside of DUB with a successful base at ORK, but name a major LC based their with a wide variety of flights to Europe? FR offer limited services.
If BA were to base aircraft at GLA or EDI they would be taking on EZY and GSM who can be wruthless. BA would be able to find niche routes from the airports with it's A320 and A319 aircraft but we Brits, arguably the most patriotic nation in Europe would die for our country, but when it comes to airfares, we are suckers for the low cost option.
Anyway, this is an FR thread...any more new routes for the winter coming up? Also, when will the summer schedule be launched?

A Boeing 737 reportedly veered off the runway at KRK at approx 11 a.m. local time. No casualties according to the only news report so far. Rumour is that the aircraft lost two wheels either on approach or on touching down.
EDIT: Wild exaggeration by the press. Just a flat tyre, as can be seen in this picture: http://bi.gazeta.pl/im/1/4439/z4439471X.jpg

Yesterday CRL routes weren't fully bookable yet, but now all flights are on sale again

Ryanair said it had reached an agreement with Brussels South Charleroi Airport, which has allowed the airline to release all seats for sale from Nov 12 onwards after strikes at the airport in June.
The airline said it welcomed the agreement, which was reached between the Ministry of Transport and the public service unions, which will guarantee that in future, any strikes will be accompanied by a minimum of 48 hours notice in order to allow passengers to make alternative arrangements.
As a result, Ryanair said it has resumed negotiations with Brussels South Charleroi Airport about further growth and new route development.

Ryanair at Cork
Cork has a portfolio of airlines operating there and while Ryanair are welcome to expand it will not be at any price. Of course they could always expand in Cork as a predator on existing routes as is happening at Dublin.
On a different issue I'm sure Ryanair will be watching with interest what deal the SAA and even the Government might be offering BMI to operate SNN-LHR. In fairness to Ryanair they are entitled to expect the same terms for operating to form SNN to LGW and STN as all state airports have always considered the London airports to be one market.

The evening STN - BLK route was normally very busy but the morning STN - BLK route usually had VERY low load factors. This was reverse in BLK, where the morning BLK - STN was busy and the evening BLK - STN was virtually empty. This of course didn't apply to every day just the majority.
