Ryanair from BHX

In view of other low cost airlines and Supposed low lost airlines success operating out of birmingham international airport, why have ryanair not decided to incorporate it into the base network?

I realise that their stance has always been that landing charges are high, but BmiBaby have had huge sucess recently..... has have Flybe, FlyMonarch recent additions by easyjet.

Yes we have the new route to Shannon along with the high frequency dublin routes, but when are we brummies going to really benifit from the hugely popular ryanair low fare fares?

You could buy tickets to Dublin and then from Dublin to anotnher city in Europe.

At this moment maby it's not interesting for O'leary because there's to mutch competition.

I dont think competion is the reason, FlyMonarch And BmiBaby are quite new additions to BHX, and very small in comparisson. Flybe would be the Biggest competitor, but the fares can quite often be very expensive.

There are so many options to expand from birmingham with its 'second city' status.

I really believe that if they took the bold step to try it would become a massive success.

And what about East Midlands? How far is that driving for you?

Everytime I'm at Madrid Barajas Airport I see the Ryanair Flight to "East Midlands", I was always wondering where that is.

Now I've seen it on the map.

Maby East Midlands is much cheaper than Birmingham, or Birmingham international is to slow for Ryanair (25 min. rule).

BMIbaby, Easyjet etc. in my eyes are NOT Low-cost airlines, because not all the flights starts from EUR/GBP 10,-

This is UNDER the cost of airport taxes, so Ryanair pays a little of the Airport taxes. No other airlines are doing this.

its about 30 miles or so from birmingham. which is ok if you drive, but being a user of public transport its not very simple.

also BmiBaby operates successfully out of both airports. Can ryanair not given its financial backing?
