Aer Lingus and Ryanair
 

Hello there

Aer Lingus (EI) operates a reasonably extensive UK network from its Dublin base. The destinations are primarily the larger variety. Ryanair (FR) also operates a good reasonably extensive UK network from Dublin, serving big and small airports, from Manchester to Bouremmouth. Why, therefore, doesn't FR serve either Edinburgh or Newcastle? These two routes put EI in a monopolistic position, surely in need of healthy competition?
