Daza: when you've got a shed load of a/c arriving & more coming you have to do something with them. RYR can't suddenly cancel 150 a/c.
However, when you here how much EU dosh went into the NE. England one wonders what will happen to the region when the dosh dries up. Lots of new regeneration of the old smokey smelly industrial sites. However it will take lots of energy and more dosh to keep them alive & well. That is local money needed at home. How will the affect the spontaneous leisure airplane trip? Crystal ball and lots of hind-sight.

I'm not making any comment about how EU money is going to be removed from the UK regions. As an aside I think FR new routes are more to do with a reaction to Jet2 setting up at BHX than it has to do with Brexit.
The comments I make are about more new routes for BHX nothing more.

FR Results

Note on capacity at STN:

Brexit:

The recent UK vote to leave the European Union (“EU”) was both a surprise and a disappointment. Ryanair, as the UK’s largest airline, had campaigned actively for a “Remain” vote. We expect this result will lead to a considerable period of political and economic uncertainty in both the UK and the EU. This uncertainty will be damaging to economic growth and consumer confidence and we will respond as always with our load factor active/yield passive strategy. Until some clarity emerges over the next two years about the UK’s long term political and economic relationships with the EU, we will be unable to predict what effect it will have on our business and regulatory environment, but we have contingency plans in place for all eventualities.

In the near term we expect that Brexit uncertainty will lead to weaker sterling, slower growth in the UK and EU economies and downward pressure on fares until the end of 2017 at least. Over the longer term, if the UK is unable to negotiate access to the single market/open skies it may have implications for our 3 UK domestic routes and UK nationals on our share register but these risks are not material and will be manageable. There may also be some opportunities if our UK registered competitors are no longer permitted to operate intra EU routes, or must divest their majority ownership of EU registered airlines.

In the meantime, we will pivot our growth away from UK airports and focus more on growing at our EU airports over the next two years. This winter we will cut capacity and frequency on many London Stansted routes (although no routes will close) where we are already significantly ahead of our multiyear traffic growth targets.
Welcome to Ryanair!

Ryanair to make parents pay for reserved seats, although no charge for the little ones,from 1st September. Ryanair To Make Parents Pay For Reserved Seats

That should sort out a few problems and stop a lot of grief that the crew have to deal with instead of getting the aircraft away on time. For once I agree with O`Leary

Must admit find it strange as SWMBO when travelling with littlies knows to check in soon as its allowed.

Recently on a Easyjet flight booked late it wasn't possible but she was only 2 seats behind one of the littlies who apparently was quiet happy to chat with passengers on either side of him............... whether they wanted to or not .

She was concerned though that someone had switched littlie, seat passengers came up and congratulated her after landing on having such a polite child, who was happy to and willing to have a conversation.
One said he learned quite a bit on what was best supercar.

Border line slip backwards.

I agree with the principal of sitting together etc but I am sure there are ways other than charging.

The answer is to go back to the (good?) old days and the scramble for seats. First on gets to sit together.

(Now it's first on gets to put luggage in the overhead - which may not be near your 'assigned' seat)

Oh for the joys of a proper national carrier at cheaper price than the competing LoCo.

Would this be a proper national carrier who charges for seats, doesn't release seats until 24 hour before take off for passengers who don't have status (leaving you with the rubbish that are left over) and who doesn't guarantee you will be sat with your children and encourages you to pay quite a lot of money, particularly on long haul flights just to be guaranteed seats together? Is this the same proper national carrier who doesn't make clear the seating charges until you've booked?

Do let me know. Just so that I can make sure we are talking about the same proper national carrier.

You've made your distaste for Ryanair clear before. There's really not much point to your ranting of petty, rubbish and untrue facts!

Actually FRatSTN if you wound your neck in and actually read what wrote you'll see that I'm not actually 'ranting' about FR. The post previous to my 'rant' would appear to be anti FR and pro (what I assume to be) BA and I'm merely providing a balanced input to inform that BA and Ryanair have an almost identical policy when it comes to sitting families together.

For my own personal educational reasons do specific which points of mine exactly are 'untrue' and 'rubbish' and I will endeavour to improve my knowledge base.

Software could fix the problem......

Software will not fix the problem that the overhead bins will not accommodate cabin approved bags at >75% of a/c seats. Considering many airlines trumpet they are averaging >90% load factor.

New LoCo competition to engage pax in their business model. Those who make the best suggestion for successful ways to add charges to the never ending list will receive free tickets for 12 months. I'm sure there will be some takers. Nowt so queer as folk who like to shoot themselves in both feet.

Referring to parents and children sitting together.
