Tweets of the day:
@buhalis Egypt doubles the cost of entry visas for foreign visitors starting next week to $60 dollars per visa. Does not make sense.
@Kenny_Jacobs #DublinAirport You need more focus on the customers you have today and less on another runway. Delays at passport control worse than JFK.
@Kenny_Jacobs 25m Europeans visited the UK in 2016, more than 10m of them came on Ryanair, that’s 40% of all EU tourists and they spent £10bn.
@Kenny_Jacobs If Ryanair UK was a separate airline it would be bigger than British Airways (even including their long haul).44.5m customers in 2017.
@RichardRoutes ANALYSIS: @GOVUK support for @bmiregional @CoDerryAirport – @STN_Airport link equates to ~£28 per departing seat.
