    Great day for the Airport and the region. April flights seem to be just €18 return to these destinations including online check in taxes etc.

    A known strategy? Of course it is. Keep route that are profitable, can the ones that arent. :confused:

    Any link to back this up? They were probably just operated during the summer season.

    Not everyone that uses the airport comes from castlebar. How did it cost 80 to get from castlebar to knock. There is a bus service that leaves castlebar twice a day to and from the airport and certainly doesn't cost 80 euro return.

    Those were scheduled seasonal flights (as are all the Ryanair sun/euro routes with the exception of Lanzarote which operates through the Winter).

    I would expect some the European cities to return next April if the airport and Tourism Ireland continue to provide marketing support, but it may take a few years to build inbound demand new routes so there could be some changes. But Barcelona (REU/GRO) in particular has done well from Knock several years with high loads.

    Lufthansas Dusseldorf flight is already on sale for Summer 2013, and Bristol is back operating this winter. Turkish charters began last week and all the UK routes are operating for the winter other than Leeds which is seasonal.

    I am well aware that not everyone that uses the airport comes from Castlebar - I was talking from personal experience if that's ok with you. I know there are two buses a day from the airport - not really sufficient for the flights in and out is it and hardly up to European standards?

    See thread below to see where I got the quote for taxi fares:
