Between the day Ryanair begin negotiations with a prospective base, and the day an announcement is made officially on their website, a lot of people learn of the intent to open the base, what routes, what times etc.
Some employees from all of the airports involved, some employees from Ryanair, employees who work for the slot co-ordination centres for the countries / airports involved, even some people from Boeing are probably also savvy.
Then consider the wives / husbands / lovers / brothers / buddies of these people. It just takes a few posts on a few forums from a few people in the know, or some official or unofficial comments to journalists...
A new base usually takes weeks/months of planning, so still I'm not so surprised that Ryanair have already planned the exact frequency, arrival and departure times of a new Madrid - Eindhoven flight. There'll be people in Madrid Airport, in Eindhoven Airport, in the Dutch slot coordination centre (and others who have access to their website), and people in Ryanair who know this.
It is not surprising that this information can surface on the web before the official Ryanair announcement
This is a rumour forum afterall
