Ryanair: Could my prayers be answered?

[Iain]

You're right that they're still announcing things for summer, but it still seems pretty late.

If we're talking about october, they're going to need to be going some in terms of aircraft and routes to get the airport up to the 8.5m+ pax numbers that have been mentioned previously!

Just about every professional organization in the world gets forecasting wrong.
Bank of England. The IMF. The Treasury. On and on .
I wouldn't hold the chaps feet to the flames on his forecast.
Its great for helping unsettled shareholders. It helps keep doubters at bay. But doesn't mean its accurate.
Anyone in here ever done an annual Sales Budget will know what I mean.

In a press release calling for the Irish Transport Minister to resign Ryanair had a quote about what will happen if the 32 million passenger cap is not lifted in Dublin.

"Unless this idiotic passenger cap is lifted, then all growth and new flights will bypass Dublin, and instead go to London, Manchester, and Glasgow."

Is he speaking generally, or does Ryanair see potential in Glasgow?

Mon the DUB pax cap!

Maybe he let that mention of Glasgow slip out because he knows something we don’t.

Let hope they don't mean pik

I think this is just a throwaway comment tbh.

I think it's also open to question whether the "growth and new flights" being referred to are FR ones, or just in general.

I think he’s thinking “ah well we’re putting 3 planes into Glasgow in October so let’s pretend to that useless article in the Irish Govt. that these were going into Dublin if they had bowed to my demands, because that’s the kind of way I operate, to be sure”.

Maybe this could potentially get FR to get a move on with growth like O’Leary said would happen if they never removed the Dublin cap.

KRK increases to 3 per week in April (mon/wed/sun).

Why is there a RYR97 / RYR98 operating from / to STN today?
