It's only Ryanair who pay 0 fees to airports in Spain. Other airlines do get reduced fees but they are not 0 anyway.
If Ryanair and Aer Lingus don't act on the reduced tax now it will be back to €10 in the next budget. If there is growth in tourism this year then it may be axed in the next Budget. This is a time for Ryanair to prove that it damages tourism.
The charges at Dublin Airport are very cheep to some European airports. Ryanair expect to fly to major airport for nothing.
I haven't seen Ryanair kick up a fuss about the French travel tax but I don't know how much it is myself.

The reduction in travel tax is fantastic, at this much reduced rate expect a major announcement from Ryanair all closed routes ex Shannon to be reopened and Knock to get 50 new routes!!!

Trondheim Værnes Airport could soon become the northernmost in the entire Ryanair network, according to sources from Norway.
Avinor (the airport authority) has received a letter from Ryanair that they are planning a major offensive in the Scandinavian market over the next few years and want to discuss the possibility of starting flights to Værnes as early as April next year. They hope to get an agreement with the Airport very soon.
Avinor responded that they are working to rise the amount of direct routes to and from Trondheim and Trøndelag, and that the request from Ryanair is very interesting. There's one catch, though. Avinor has sent Ryanair a list of prices that airlines must pay to fly from Værnes hinting it will be ready to arrange a meeting with the airline only if the carrier agrees to these terms.

Well when i went to TFS for 4days in june i took just my 10kg and that was fine. Plus many pax take a short city/sun break and only need clothes for a few days. Or if you think about our 2nd home owners who have a collection at clothes at the 2nd home, why would these pax want the charge of a hold case inc in the ticket price. Just pay for what you use! I have to admit the printing of your own boarding card does really f 
k me off.

Well seriously, what a joke it is that MOL moans about taxes, when if you book a Ryanair flight nowadays you have to wade through about two pages of trumped up Ryanair charges before you get to the end of your once £14.99 flight. I suppose you have all noticed how many peeps turn up at the gate with large jackets with poachers pockets in the hottest weather.
It's been so far so good for him, and I know that when Ryanair works it works fine, but at the moment he is just annoying far too many people, and as all marketing and customer relations staff know that this is a very bad long term thing. I know a few people who have met MOL (I haven't) and they all say he is a very smart guy who knows what he is doing.....it's him or marketing theory, one will have to give.

Did you not know that Ryanair use Fuerteventura Lanzarote international airport for flights to Lanzarote. Its actually only about 25miles away which is pretty close for an FR airport

Germany
Looks like the announcement of the "retaliations" against the German airports is imminent, resulting from the new air tax there. Most probably all domestic routes will go. Weeze will lose two planes and as much as 13 routes (e.g. all 3 connections with Poland). Frequency reductions on some other routes. Also Bremen will likely be stripped of some key links like the one to Bergamo or Liverpool.

Why on earth would anybody want to bring a suitcase with them on holidays
Or maybe those who care about hygeine issues.
Correct me if I am wrong but to carry 'normal' sizes of such necessities as toothpaste and deodorant one needs to carry these in hold luggage!

I dont think that this is the appropriate threat, but I think that security at all airports is similar. I am more concerned over the very personal searches which are getting more inappropriate by the day.
Regular travellers will know numerous ways of bypassing these security checks, I'm not going to highlight them. I believe that its more about pacifying the public and at least providing some sort of token barrier rather than preventing someone who was determined.

FR & Girona
Any experts out there know when/how the dispute between these two is going to be resolved?
Normally April-Aug flights on FR are bookable by the previous November.
There are no flights from BHX, EMA,STN etc in range to GRO after 1st April although all the other "sunshine" destinations are bookable including REU!
