I suspect that he is doing the Irish “feck you” to the Portuguese staff that went on strike last year!

Still flying by the sounds of it, just not having a base in Faro >>

"Flights are to continue from Ryanair out of Faro airport, however it will cease to be a base from the beginning of next year..

Doubt if it will make any difference, the scrotes at the bottom end of the tourist plague will just find another airline.

As far as I understand they are just closing the base there, the planes will just come from other bases. I must admit I always wondered about the economy of having a relatively small base here. What is more worrying is what will happen if the Max's are not flying next year and Ryanair and a lot of other airlines have their aircraft replacement programmes screwed up

There are usually 6 or 7 parked overnight at Faro. Many of us worry more about what will happen if they do start flying B Max.

I suspect with all the revelations about certification the Max will be squeaky clean

It can’t ever be - the basic desIgn is flawed and unstable - great for a twitchy warplane but not great for a passenger plane as everything has to go right with the corrective software every time every day or every year.
