Ryanair and Gerona
Hi!
Here in Spain this weekend y a long one. Firstly because today has been 26 years that we had our Constitution and then because the wednesday is a virgin day. So everybody usually go for holidays.
Gerona is the base of Ryanair in Spain, and this weekend they've sold tickets for 1€, so everybody go there to take the flight.
But, this is an airport prepared for X people, so they aren't prepared for the X^3 that now they have.
People has to park in the highway, and walk for more than 2 km with all the baggage.
Amazing...

Now you know why Eindhoven Airport is expanding it's terminals. At this moment they are building a completely new terminal due to the fact last year they received more then 450.000 passenger and it is very busy when you have an airport that is build for aprox 80.000 passengers. Most passengers are generated by Ryanair but also due to flights of Corendon, Transavia, FlyAir and Inter.

Nice to see all those airports expand. But it's a risky game they are playing. Their main customer is FR and if for any reason FR decides to pull out of that certain destination then the airport will be stuck with way to much capacity and nearly no income to pay for the expansion they've made.

Thanks for the info Erwin, but I wasn't aiming at one specific airport. There are many others who don't have other major incomes besides the one of FR.A318 wrote:Agree with that Chris but RYR is not the main customer in EIN. Like I said, Corendon, Inter, FlyAir, Transavia, SNBA (Charters), Exel group, KLM Cityhopper are all flying from/to EIN and believe me when I say they generate a lot of passengers also.
