   Sorry Doug but I don't agree with you. So the airport does not make any   
   money off the carrier but has to charge the customer to make money? Then   
   that means higher car park charges, higher charges in cafes etc. PIK is in a   
   bad state of repair and as we all know that's fact.   
      
   The only one who's making money out of PIK is MOL. Maybe he should just buy   
   the airport? I think that in the next few years we will see changes at the   
   airport. As stated before they are very reliant on Ryanair but if they are   
   not making money from FR then what do they do?   
      
   If they raise their charges MOL will spit his big Irish dummy out (yet   
   again) and make all sorts of threats and bring in his bully boy tactics.   
      
   Apart from that, not had a chance to fly from PIK this year so far, look   
   forward to all the changes and I hope that they don't force people thru the   
   shops on the other side of the security checkpoint.
