Alternately, threaten to pull out as a negotiating tactic to get a better deal with BAA prior to the new owners taking over. FR provide a substantial cash flow for STN, and the loss of the airline would badly affect the price BAA could realise from the enforced sale.

No, No, No...
The best thing Ryanair could do for the best outcome is -
Stay at STN play the "we are very happy" card and when the new owners take over
then say you want a better deal or they will pull out ...

RYANAIR TO OPEN THREE NEW BASES ON THE CANARY ISLANDS
€400M INVESTMENT, 112 ROUTES (35 NEW), 6 AIRCRAFT & 4.5M PAX AT NEW BASES IN GRAN CANARIA, LANZAROTE AND TENERIFE
AND AT FUERTEVENTURA
Ryanair, the world's favourite airline, today (1st Dec) announced three new bases on the Canary Islands in summer 2011. Ryanair will base six aircraft across Gran Canaria (2 ac), Lanzarote (2 ac) and Tenerife (2 ac) from February 2011 while also increasing Fuerteventura routes and frequencies. Ryanair will operate 112 routes to/from the Canary Islands (including 35 new routes) which will deliver 4.5m passengers p.a., sustaining over 4,500 local jobs including 350 Ryanair pilots, cabin crew and engineers.
Ryanair carried just 300,000 passengers to the Canary Islands in 2009. However, since the Islands' Govt and the Spanish Parliament incentivised air traffic growth by (a) reducing airport charges for 2010 and 2011, and (b) recently announcing a 2013-2015 Regional Marketing Fund to support continued air traffic growth, Ryanair will now grow its traffic to/from the Islands to 4.5m passengers p.a., which will restore all of the traffic lost by the Canary Islands between 2007-2009.
Ryanair's Michael Cawley said:
"Ryanair is pleased to announce three new Canary Island bases, 4.5m passengers p.a. and 112 routes which will be phased in from February 2011 to deliver more low fares and high spending visitors to Fuerteventura and our new bases in Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife. Ryanair's growth is directly attributable to the visionary initiatives of the Canary Islands Government who, in recent years, have identified low fare access as being critical, and have worked with Ryanair to reduce airport costs in order to return tourism to its previous 2007 record levels.
The announcement today of a 2013-2015 Regional Marketing Fund, in parallel with AENA's 2011 cost incentives, has allowed the Canary Islands deliver much lower airport costs and secure this largest ever investment by Ryanair, Europe's largest airline, in Spanish Tourism."

Ryanair traffic just +2% in November ! Must be plenty of aircraft sitting around Europe ???
This month is also looking very bad for ryanair and we may see very little growth outside the holiday period. We may start to see months of negaive growth after the new year.

It would be interesting to see what their financial results would look like without the considerable subsidies upon which Ryan Air's business model is dependent...:

Ryanair have done the best thing by not flying into or out of Spain Today,
This gives them some time to sort out A/C and crew to be in the right places after the snow and the ATC strike, This also stops other flights being canclled over the next 24hrs and a normal operation can start sooner rather than later, also you might find that FR will put some extra flights on to bring passengers back from the canaries or they might put people on flights to the Spanish mainlad then back to the UK and you will find alot of Airlines have canclled flights into and out of Spain today IB, KLM, FR, EZY to name afew.

I experienced Ryanair's famous customer service for the first time on Thursday. Before I say anything, I have always been a supporter of Ryanair and have used them 20+ times in the past. Even on the outbound to Dublin, I commented on how excellent the flight was, despite the weather.
I was supposed to travel DUB-EMA on Thursday evening, but the flight had been cancelled. After queuing for a re-booking, I was told the next EMA flight would be on Sunday, but there was an LBA one on Saturday, so booked on that. After doing that, I basically got a "Right, see you on Saturday!". They wouldn't provide anything, not even a meal voucher. One Ryanair staff member I spoke to afterwards did seem genuinely upset that she couldn't help, but it was her "managers decision" not to provide anything. So we camped in the DUB food court overnight. Fortunately, I got put on standby (after queuing at 3am) for the Friday morning EMA flight and made it home.
After this experience, I have decided not to fly with Ryanair again. They are fantastic when everything works, but terrible when things go wrong. If I were to fly with them again, it would always be at the back of my mind about the consequences so I'm just going to travel with respectable carriers from now on and not risk being stranded again!

If your flight is cancelled they Ryanair have to provide you with Hotel costs and meals costs if the delay is more than 1 day,we had our flight to Murcia cancelled during the summer by Ryanair due to the strike by French ATC we flew out the next day same time but we stayed in the airport hotel and had a meal out too.I sent in the receipts to Ryanair for 14 of us and got the cheque out after 13 days covering the costs involved.The Ryanair staff were not too up front at Dublin about our rights but we knew what we were due.
