Some bad news from Ryanair today for LDY. Stansted and Faro is being dropped and Liverpool is going to just 2 times a WEEK!

So Ryanair will only do 5 Weekly Glasgow flights and 2 weekly Liverpool flights.

I suppose that would make sense.
Perhaps Flybe would be interested in operating some routes from LDY?  :-\

Would be curious to know what kind of loads those routes were generating.

It was always hard to see anyone in the south & east of the country using it for flights given that what you save in airfare you're spending on fuel to get to the airport and the fact that Aldergrove, City and Dublin were easier to get to.
