The massive expansion that was hinted at in the press the day before related to the fact RYR were going to announce alot of routes in total. This they did, but I think people generally misinterpreted this to mean it meant massive expansion at evey airport a press conference was being held. Looking at the announcements – it obviously didn’t.

Was told today that the MAN announcement, and the very public hint at more routes, is all part of a tactical game being played out with 2 other Northern Airports where Ryanair actually want to base 2 or 3 aircraft from Winter 08/09. Keep watching on that one.
