madrid12 said:i have just been checking Ryanair and it is possible to book flights from Stansted to Santiago after 11th Jan 2011 so hopefully they are not pulling out of this route. Although it looks as if they will only operate on Tues and Thurs and we have a flight booked for a Saturday in March so have no more info on this yet.

don't think the Xunta have ever given Ryanair money, have they? What is talked about is for the Xunta to spend money on promoting the flights to Santiago - seems to me to be in the Xunta's interest as well, as the low-cost airlines must represent a major boost for Galician tourism (even tho they're under severe budget constraints at the moment).ivar said:..this has not been decided yet. Ryanair know that the Xunta will have a meeting in a few days making a decision on this topic. So they decided to have a press conference yesterday saying "If you do not give us more money.....".
they're actually still there, just under generic airports called 'London', 'Paris', and 'Galicia'fiona said:Something is happening behind the scenes. Overnight, the Vueling Paris - Santiago and London - A Coruna flights in spring next year have vanished from their online booking engine
I am not sure... but I thought they had flights last winter, just reduced departures per week.... but not sure.. :?sillydoll said:I was under the impression that Ryanair didn't have flights from Santiago during the winter months?
yes, that's how I read it too. Not over till the fat lady (in this case, the Xunta) sings. Ryanair's business model depends on flying to less-used, i.e. cheaper, airports, and having those flights subsidised in some way to make them viable. I can imagine they are rather an annoying company to deal with, but the bottom line is that Galicia can't afford to let them go elsewhere.ivar said:I think that this is actually part of the negotiation tactics from Ryanair's side...
My gut feeling is that we will have similar destinations as last year
