Ryanair launching a base in a town so close to the airport you can walk to it?
Is MOL feeling ok?
I think if he could buy up the Lego company and find a way to incorporate a re-assembly fee into their sets, he'd be onto even more of a winner!
Or is BLL replacing MMX as CPH west?

You never been Pisa?
Billund is more of Denmark's answer to EMA, especially as AAR is so far from city. As the airport was built for the Lego company, it takes the town's name, but Legoland itself must generate fair amount of inbound tourism, when open.

There is not radio navigation aids and no budget for them. Cartography 0%, emergency plans, validation, and many more...
In addition, AENA have to renew contracts with companies that offer the calibration service of radio navigation aids.

The problem isn't in many cases the location of these airports. Unfortunately, Ryanair serving (in significant part) LOCAL communities there provides them with the limited number of point-to-point connections only. What is still good for Bergamo and Bremen, the towns big enough to have dozens of routes, is probably not enough for even smaller places, like Brindisi or Cork. Without many chances to build some reasonable connections (even self-made if not official) that doesn't serve these communities well enough, it's not versatile at all.

Pee,
On the trip in question, I flew BHX-BLQ then returned PSA-BHX, unfortunately neither exist anymore.
Base was Florence - now FLR is also very close to city, but runway not FR friendly.
Airports you can genuinely walk to where you want to go are rare - and ones served by FR rarer still. However, there are indeed plenty of places where Ryanair use main or only airport, or as you say where airport is close to named city.
There are also a few cases where the Ryanairport is closer to the city than the 'main' airport - eg CIA, GSE, and BHD when they used it.

You can quite literally walk to Prestwick town centre from the airport in about 3 or 4 minutes I'd say. However it is known as GLASGOW Prestwickand it would take you about 8 hours to walk there doing a steady 4mph, and again you would probably get arrested for waking on the motorway :-O

Bookings on flights from Zaragoza after 24 March have being suspened becasue of a row over Gov support. Should be resloved soon but if there is no money there will be no flights.

Hollymead, by nature of the fact you have waited for, paid for, and then got on a tram, that makes it hard work!
Within Europe, served by locos (but I doubt they will ever please MOL), a reasonably significant destination, if not much of a population, AND you get to walk across the runway - can't beat GIB
Airports that actually have 'serious' intercontinental flights that you could walk from (although a quick heli spin across to Ceuta would make GIB intercontinental, politics aside)? I've done GVA in about 40 mins, LCY is good for an exhibition at Excel, as long as you aren't taking the stands with you!

New Advertising slogan for Ryanair..
Following the considerable price hike for fares in 2012 and the introduction of captcha,here are a couple of suggestions for the new advertising slogan:-
"Ryanair-the not so low fares airline"
"Ryanair- book us if you can"
"Ryanair-the not so low fares airline"
"Ryanair- book us if you can"
