The Phantom Airport... or should that be Airports

Interesting report in 'El Pais in English' concerning Ciudad Real's Don Quixote Airport...

Wrong place, wrong time... waste of space, waste of money.

Also worth reading the final additional paragraphs re Ryanair at Reus...

quote...Ryanair has said that it will suspended its operations for the winter season if the carrier doesn't receive a hike in the more than 3.5 million euros in government subsidies it receives each year.

I thought 'demanding money with menaces' and blackmail were crimes....

Yeah, it's not often you hear about airports failing but this all goes back to the whole country getting totally carried away with everying a few years back.

Sad news really as these things always lead to the inevitable...more job losses.

Somebody with ethics who doesn't hold countries to ransom needs to take on Ryanair......

Looks as if Ryanair are prepared to take on the majority of the Spanish tourist destination airports authorities.
