Not surprised really. Serving EIN, MST and NRN all within spitting distance of each other doesn't help the loads. Hopefully they will pull out from their miserable single daily MST rotation and KLM Exel will restart their three times daily service, which they provided at a reasonable price before RYR came crashing in. At least with Exel we had consistant timings throughout the years. RYR managed to change their timings three times since starting last May!

Sod off RYR, we don't want you!

Perhaps V-Bird will take the route :ok:

Rather a shinny -800 once a day then a miserable ATR three times a day! :E

Most of the time it was a dirty hybrid coloured 300 :eek:

On the serious side, the once daily schedule isn't attracting any London bound business traffic. The business pax is now driving to BRU or DUS (only 55 mins away) in order to be able to make a one-day trip. Truth is RYR didn't do their homework with MST and that's why it ain't working!

With routes like this disappearing and a few more in the pipeline begs the question what on earth does MOL propose to do with the 250 B737s he intends to have in the not too distant future?

What are the bets a lot of these end up in the Mojave?

MOL could always lease them to NOW ;)

He could maybe use them on the 50 new destinations that according to Ryanair are in the pipeline over the next couple of years.

And let's have some guesses where these 50 new destinations are....

For my money:

Haverfordwest
Shoreham (Brighton) - a new hub?
St Mary's, Isles of Scilly (New York - East)
Cranfield (Milton Keynes)

and a few others besides.:D
