Ultimately everybody will be cancelling flights everywhere as Covid-19 quarantine and bans will make Airports unviable.

That is Weeze NRN?

I wonder if Düsseldorf said no to Ryanair’s demands.

[ESCNI]

"The airline said that Ryanair could not operate profitably in Düsseldorf because of the high fees and prices of the airport and the handler, as well as because of competition from the state-funded Lufthansa. This would require offering low ticket prices to boost demand during the Corona crisis."

Same in Stuttgart. They might end up pulling the trigger on Laudamotion if things go like that. Cutting some 5% of your overall fleet in favour of removing all provisions and costs associated with running a second aircraft type doesn't sound unreasonable under the circumstances.

Laudamotion being transferred to Maltese jurisdiction & register so differing plans for them v possibly.

Also building Airbus operating experience.
