I can't see Frankfurt offering too mush of a discount to LCC maybe I'm wrong?
Fraport is a business. 'We make it happen'. - Glad they do.
The possibility that perhaps one day soon we could have FR on the DUB-FRA-DUB route would be marvellous as EI & LH are presently milking it for all its worth.

Given what the local unions in CPH created; the same +AF in MRS; the actions of the Germans towards ez crews in SXF, it will be interesting to see what happens in FRA.

The next chapter of Ryanair Vs Polish State Airports and LOT is now playing out and it's happening pretty much as I predicted earlier in the year.
For previous chapters in this particular story check

There is still continued talk about Polish State airports buying a majority stake in Modlin Airport, and recently the Chairman of Modlin Airport has resigned, over what is said to be plans to allow this to happen, to be replaced by an Ex LOT official who is said to be very much pro these plans and dragging his heels over any expansion plans.
In response Ryanair is now going to up domestic routes at Chopin Airport to try and hit LOT where it hurts and Michael O'Leary is now promising to fund the expansion of Modlin Airport itself, because they are (rightly) worried that the whole new chairman and ownership approach is an attempt to stifle growth at Modlin to protect LOT at Chopin Airport.
O'Leary's idea of funding the airport probably has no real prospect of happening, however it is most likely a deliberate publicity stunt to try and call out the excuse that the funding isn't available to expand Modlin which is currently being portrayed as the case.

This will limit capacity at the airport as aircraft will need to be turned on the runway for taxi purposes and in addition it's said that a full investigation and in-depth inspection of all surfaces will take place shortly.

Thessaloniki (SKG) - Eindhoven (EIN)
Thessaloniki (SKG) - Memmingen (FMM)
Thessaloniki (SKG) - Bratislava (BTS)

"Their final decision as to whether to start the new connecting flights in 2017 or 2018 will depend on the time schedule for the completion of the expansion of the airport’s runways, which remains a matter of concern"

Most of the recently announced new routes are still not on sale. I can understand a few days but why take 3 weeks? You have just lost all the benefits of the early PR and local newspaper coverage.

lfc - be careful what you wish for. Easyjet already have a bg chunk of the IoM market. If Ryanair operate at IoM as well, the diversity of routes and frequencies may decline - LCCs are a double edged sword, particularly in constrained markets that are dependent on air transport with only a single airport
I think FR particulary can promote growth in a 'constrained' market
Now have spent time on the island and yup it is a nice place BUT it has a population of 85k.
Better off putting an airport on Isle of Wight pop 138k.
Of course IOM has the better "banking" facilities and low tax regime but really couldn't see it sustaining many flights from other EU destinations.
