Ryanair are opening another three new routes from dublin. Warsaw stockholm skavsta and stockholm vasteras. Quite interesting that they are opening base at madrid, a major hub and now using warsaw, poland's biggest airport, looks like they're more and more moving into europe's biggest hubs. Also, that they've opened up to a dozen new routes into sweden in the last month, not long after they dropped some routes and some frequencies in protest against their environmental tax. This repeating growth in sweden is proof to me that ryanair's protest was little more than a meanless publicity stunt and an excuse to drop its most unprofitable routes.

Of course if you read the newspapers you would know that the right wing government of Sweden was voted out of power last month and that the new government will not be proceeding with the proposed taxes . hence FR are now increasing their flights to and from Sweden .

Was it not a left-wing government that was thrown away and replaced by a right-wing one?

Which explains of course lower taxes.

How could there be any confusion? If it was a government imposing taxes that hurt the economy, it MUST have been left wing (and it was). 8)
