Ryanair 2008
Ryanair flights from EMA for Summer 08 are now on sale. The current situation seems to be:-
1. All routes operated in Summer 2007 are available again next year.
2. New routes for 2008 are POZ (3/wk) BHD (13/wk) ALC (4/wk) BUD (4/wk) ORK (7/wk) RIX (3/wk) TFS (1/wk) and VLC (4/wk). All these new routes have been previously announced.
3. This equals 160 flights per week compared to 126 per week this summer - an increase of 27%.
4. The schedule requires full utilisation of 6 based aircraft. Services from/to Madrid, Shannon and Alicante will be operated by out-based aircraft.
The above is based on the schedule for July 2008.
Whether there are more routes and based aircraft to come as rumoured on this thread, we will have to wait and see.
