Ryanair Winter Schedule
As mentioned in another thread, the FR Shannon flight will be operated by a LTN based aircraft this winter.
Also, looking at the FR website, it appears that Dinard stops on 29.10.05. After transferring this route from STN in January, a new STN-Dinard flight was started a few months later. It now seems to have reverted to STN.
Also from 30.10.05 the Esbjerg transfers back to STN.
Furthermore, the winter timetable doesn't show any Girona flights, but the Reus page says that Girona is served from LTN.
So is Ryanair committed to its Luton base, or is it gradually withdrawing back to STN? Interestingly, since resolving its dispute with BAA over fuel, all new London services have been announced as from Essex Rural.
And Wizz??
Wizzair are competing head-to-head with Easy on Budapest and Warsaw, but who is winning? From my observations, WZZ are constantly adjusting their schedule, and their prices seem cheaper than EZY. That looks like a couple of points to the orange corner.
Soon after Wizz start Poznan flights (4 per week) in September, Ryanair are starting daily flights there from Stansted.
Are Wizz strong enough to thrive in the face of such competition? I sincerely hope so, but I guess time will tell.
