I think it's more than just branding, as passengers often don't have a choice of airport operator - outside Catalonia, it's difficult to avoid Aena in Spain for example AENA is the public airport operator in Spain. Unless things have changed the only private, non-AENA, airport in Spain was Ciudad R...
Jump to postDuring my time at Ryanair we had many different announcements recorded on the PRAM, some in a lot of different languages, for several moments such as safety demo, food service, scratchcards (service and winner on board) or on-time arrival. I have also noticed similar systems in other airlines.

At the moment most of them are in storage at Chateauroux. In addition, G-XLEG is expected to get to Ciudad Real, also for storage, next Friday.

Jump to postApart from Arad and Oradea, is there any airport which sees scheduled airline passenger traffic on a route at least 1x weekly and which has *not* got (or soon to have) a route to London ?

Not exactly the same, but you can always play the Scratchcard game on Ryanair flights for prizes up to 1,000,000€.

Recently they have started LGW and SEN, but while the former has been even upgraded to a base, the latter has been cut to just one route.

why? Related to current travel restrictions and downturn in travel. At the moment (or at least until recently) only repatriation flights by Georgian Airways are permitted in the country, and also because of some disagreements on how the government is easing the lockdown in Georgia. http://georgiato...

Jump to postOne interesting flight: Out of the reopening of Ciudad Real Airport, a medical cargo corridor to Guangzhou was established. It was meant to be operated by direct flights on Hi Fly A340s and A330s, but the first (and probably second) one ended up being operated by a Spanish airline, Galistair, with t...
Jump to postI think Ciudad Real Central Airport, in Spain, pretty much takes the cake. It was originally built to handle 2 million passengers per year, but never saw anywhere even close to that. Over 200 km from Madrid, it was a dismal failure. Even Ryanair couldn’t make it work. It was closed for years, but r...

It has been closed since yesterday afternoon, probably not reopening until storm ends.
If Madrid has hit 60m pax and (I think) has capacity for 70m pax, does that mean we might see flights to Ciudad Real as a Madrid overflow airport?
