I’m asking for a friend who has an A380 to spare…
Presumably there's some kind of revenue guarantee because Ryanair doesn't seem like the kind of airline that waits to see if a route can catch on. Kind of like Frontier. If it isn't gangbusters out of the gate it gets cut.
Avgeek history: in 1972, Iberia had a daily flight Las Palmas-Villa Cisneros (VIL, now Dakhla), four times weekly by F27, and three times weekly by DC3 continuing on to Güera. Seats probably filled mainly by colonial bureaucrats. 
Lucky, while we appreciate your posts, I don't think it right for you to be political and rile up conversation around disputed territories. There's enough antisemtism going around with everything happening in the world, and there's no need for any of this triggering language.
Just mention the details and facts and keep it simple; it's a 9% route to a place that doesn't get many visitors. That's it. Click-bait titles trying to provoke people isn't doing anyone any favors
It makes you uneasy because, deep down, you know what you bloodthirsty Zionists are doing is morally reprehensible.
Eye for an eye. And giving Muslims of any type the moral high ground when their religion has been based on bloodshed since the Seventh Century is a joke in itself.
Almost 200 Americans pay tax every year.
I can assure you IRS is not anyone's "favorite" agency.
Israel supports the Moroccan colonisation of the western Sahara, so perhaps that's the angle they're taking? Definitely a massive stretch regardless
@Derek what on earth are you talking about? He made a statement of fact that Western Sahara is a disputed territory, nothing more. Seems perfectly appropriate in describing the destination given the odd circumstances of the route.
There isn't any actual direct proof that the routes are subsidized.
It is merely a rumour.
Western sahara is a moroccan territory wether you like it or not.you publication is fake news trying to mislead the readers the USA,FRANCE,SPAIN,and most of the world are recognizing the moroccan sovreignty on the so called western sahara.so to the writter of this BS i say get a grip.
