Ryanair will further expand its Shannon base due to current strong forward bookings.
That's a first! Normally at every quarterly report Ryanair make a point of saying that bookings at Shannon are weaker than wished for.
Ryanair’s services will almost double on Shannon – London from 4 to 7 flights daily with services from Shannon to Gatwick, Luton and Stansted, where Shannon passengers can connect to more destinations than they presently can from Heathrow.
Connect????!!! What? Is Ryanair going to abandon it's point to point policy? Don't think so
Ryanair intends to double its Shannon-Paris services to a twice daily flight next Summer
Yes, Ryanair want to frighten off anyone considering on taking SNN up on their deal for an airline operating to CDG.
and Ryanair is now in negotiations with Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to see if a viable cost base can be agreed to allow a low fare Shannon-Amsterdam route to be launched
Ditto for AMS, and LHR, and I'm surprised their not going to start twice daily on Hahn either.

Shannon want to attract airlines to fly to LHR, CDG, FRA and AMS, and that they will offer connecting flights. If anyone does take up the Shannon deal for these routes, rest assured that Ryanair will have high frequency flights to STN, LTN, LGW, AMS, BVA, HHN, at 1 cent fares everyday of the week, taking any and all potential leisure passengers away from the airline operating to the nearby hub.
