It was never going to sell out at that pricing.
Looks like the MME pricing was Death Wish.
Quoting Harold’s jigsaw…how about a 2 aircraft Easy Jet base?
Crew training ,parting out and now a base?
Ben is upbeat this morning regarding delivering his promises…remember his LCC desire?
Anyway airport closed due power failure…infrastructure will need some worka,

I'll always be nervous until something is announced, but your suggestion Highwide is a thought I have had myself.
I agree that one of the reasons we only have some routes on sale next year is that a based aircraft is about to be announced. If that is the case, I would expect it to be Ryanair.
Let's see....presumably this is the week we find out.

I read this thread as an outsider looking in and admire any mayor that really raises to profile of their region.
However I really do struggle to understand the case for a based airline operation such as is being wished for, certainly in 2024.
Take Easyjet; any based operation would surely be directed towards the IT arm of the business. Their expansion next summer is BHX and the flights have been on the market for months now. Why would they come late to the party at MME with a base operation? In MME's favour is that there is no competing Company base in the region, so perhaps if it were to happen it could be more realistically be S2025.
Ryanair has an existing, developing base at NCL, so why would they want to dilute the regional market and potentially reduce their yield at NCL? At to that O'Leary is whinging about late deliveries from Boeing making expansion in 2024 even more of a challenge.
None of that is to say that there won't be growth at MME next summer, I'm sure there will be, but not on the scale that 'fan boys' are wishing for.
I'm not into 'hat eating', but if I am wide of the mark I will be delighted, and will consume copious quantities of humble pie.

I don't think anyone should wish for Wizz seeing how they royally shat on Donaster and Cardiff. I reckon if they made an approach I'd double the fees to keep them out!!

In my opinion, its not worth the time, money, or effort spent for any airline to base for a summer season. The huge cost of opening the base, recruting crew etc for 6 months of the year? Why bother? Plus there is no supporting services at MME such as catering/cleaning.
I agree wth TED320 that a base is unlikely given the investment involved. RYR have gone for the low hanging fruit but even so based on tigertanka's post 2441 they aren't achieving the load factors that RYR averaged in September. (yes, it;s not all about load factors...)

I mean TUI have done it successfully for many years now at NWI and other places using a 3rd party airline and local cabin crew. But hey what do they know.
