The local newspaper "Weser Kurier" is quoting FR's Sean Coyle, additional routes from Bremen would certainly be Faro and probably Mallorca. Those destinations would start spring next year.

Coyle also said, Bremen has started sensationally with bookings only 5% under average. Most ambitious expectations have been exceeded. Ryanair would reach its goal of one million passengers a year earlier then predicted - in this accounting year.

My personal observance is a lot of norwegian and finnish backpackers in town. The airport also counts many more Dutchmen leaving from Bremen.

By now FR has already announced 18 routes till september. This is a quantum jump for Bremen, where charter had gone down and the number of passengers decreased in 2006.

Ryanairs stretegy for Bremen seems to be filling the gap of sun destinations. We all would have expected another route to the UK as EMA was a hot candidate in the forums. My personal favorite would have been PIK.

But let's be patient. FR's cute little terminal can take a lot more travellers.

Actually me as a Bremer, I'm happy!
