like i say i find this hard to belive,but he said he'd heard they were "seriously looking at moveing all ops to l'pool to cut cost's on landing/handling fee's long term". my first thoughts were maybe its a (mol)kind of threat to see if they can get man to reduce cost's.(if it is true).
he also said that the ryanair expansion plans for the new ryanair terminal on t2 would see them move a lot of the l'pool flights to man.

When FR announce they MAN base soon, Liverpool will see a reduction from Ryanair. The reduction may not happon this winter but it wil graudally happon. Evenchallity Liverpool and Manchester will go like BHX ane EMA and Liverpool will be BHX and MAN will be EMA.
Would love to see MON at Liverpool if it happons but I don't think it will.

Well considering Monarch have already announced that Manchester will see new routes to France, Italy, Spain and Portugal for 2012, as well as the mentioned Monarch hangar with the contract to look after theirs and Thomsons B787's, and the move to T2 in november, why would Monarch put all this planning in only to pull out?

Question : Are Monarch closing their second biggest base in the UK to move into smaller facilities at an airport with fewer connections into the rail and motorway network?

Short Answer : Probably not

MAN is their biggest base, then i think its LGW, BHX, LTN & DUB (in that order)
I have heard though they are getting more aircraft so they might get a small base at LPL maybe. Heard also about BRS & CWL as well (on these forums)
I think that somewhere up north would be good like Newcastle or Edinburgh

It may see a slight decline but i don't think it will have much effect. Of what I know the morning AGP flight (ZB654) is extremely popular and I would imagine ALC, TFS & FAO will be the same.
BCN, not sure but I do remember Jet2 starting it but then ceasing it due to lack of demand, and acording to Monarch's website they said that the monarch flights were much more popular, but now with 3 airlines doing it (Jet2 are restaring it for some reason) im not sure where this will go.
PMI would be good for ZB in the winter because it is seasonal for Ryanair.
IBZ, welll ZB don't really operate it very much but it is coping well so we will have to wait and see on this one.
Also in my opinion ZB have better flight times so maybe that will boost passengers.
