RYANAIR, purveyors of spin and airline operators, have issued a press release justifying its reductions of service at Manchester and increase at Liverpool and Leeds-Bradford on the grounds of higher charges at Manchester International Airport. The airline is to limit its services from Manchester to Dublin to three per day transferring the spare flights to Liverpool and Leeds-Bradford. Another reason suggested is that Ryanair is concerned with Jet2 getting on the Dublin route at LBA and one of the Manx operators also starting up to Dublin from Liverpool.
