As expected, Ryanair's BFS-MAN route will be operated in the mid-afternoon by a BFS based aircraft.
BFS-MAN (FR5580): M (15:35-16:40), TWTFSS (15:25-16:30)
MAN-BFS (FR5581): M (17:05-18:10), TWTFSS (16:55-18:00)
Incidentally, the BFS press release states that this will be Ryanair's 15th route, suggesting FAO has not been axed, despite it not yet being on sale for S18.
