something tells me that due to LBA having just the one based aircraft Ryanair are upto their crafty tricks and have thought "lets pull out of LBA totally inc operating non based aircraft from other airports, we have nothing to loose here, lets put LBA in a corner and try get a better deal out of them! But if we don't get a good deal we wont base aircraft at leeds but just operate non based units in. "

In a nutshell it's called negotiation and trying to minimise a bad situation. Airlines and airports are all on their knees right now but airlines know that they have the upper hand. Ryanair are experts at it.

Normally the likes of MAN do sweetheart deals to include airports in their group to maximise their negotiating muscle so I'm not sure if this has been done with the triage of AMP owned airports.

Well if not they should. There are 3 airports of AMP's in the UK and so far Ryanair have only got flights to 2.

Yes and the one AMP airport that has no Ryanair flights happens to be the one they are currently spending a hell of a lot of money at!

If you look at Newcastle and Luton, yes Ryanair pulling out would be a blow for both but they aren't as big at those compared to Leeds, at Newcastle they don't have a base. So the effect of a pull out could be that others like Easyjet and Wizzair fill the gap but at LBA thats unlikely to happen so they'll have more clout at LBA.

Just noticed that the Ryanair flights from LBA have started to reappear again from July.

Seems to be a bit of a reduction but it’s a start. The Alicante starts late June but no Tenerife till October

Great news. Nothing showing on android app yet though.

The Leeds - Tenerife route was dropped for summer with axing of 2nd based aircraft and was due to restart in october when it returns.

So the press are completely wrong by the looks of things. This is great news if correct.

I'm currently on the website and they aren't selling flights from LBA

I think the point was that flights were starting to reappear, not necessarily back on sale just yet. It wood appear its work in progress.

Cannot wait to see if they eat their words. You know "looks like we were wrong" ... or they'll probably address it as "Ryanair Return to LBA" ....

 

[Aviador]

Or they will run a story saying "more flights to blight Leeds homes"

"All that god damn extra traffic (reduced let's be honest)"
