Ryanair in Saxony: Why a Return Promise Alone Is Not Enough

Answer

Why does lowering airport fees not always bring an airline back to Mallorca routes?

Lower fees can help, but airlines also look at demand, operating costs, airport competition and how reliable a route is over time. If passenger numbers are uneven or nearby airports offer stronger alternatives, a cheaper fee structure alone may not be enough to secure long-term service to Mallorca.
