I dont like all these press realeases. In one a few weeks ago it was about the first pssenger checking in for the DSA-DUB flight. Its was a 16 year old coming to Ireland to swim or somthing. Anyway Ryanair gave him champagne and choclates. Im not 100% sure about the law in the UK but if any airline or company was to give a 16 year old champagne here they would be flamed.
Its always someone going on the trip for a really interesting reason, that is mirculously the 1st flight. Ryanair must do it on purpose.

Surely Coventry or Doncaster would now be the fastest growing UK airport??

It’s hard to define ‘fastest growing’.
Do you mean annual % pax increase, movement increase, size increase, capacity increase…etc etc.
