ATI says:
Venice and Cagliari will be served twice-weekly, Eindhoven thrice-weekly, and Milan four times per week.
Ryanair already operates from Pescara to Frankfurt Hahn, London Stansted and Girona outside Barcelona.
So the new services from this base (6 domestic Italian round-trips per week and 3 round trips to NL) account for the equivalent of ...what? 3 days worth of aircraft time in each week?
For me the subtext in Ryanair announcements these days is all about
diminishing returns. Once upon a time every new route was launched on a daily or more-than-daily basis, and every new base had two or three or four more aircraft (with corresponding inflated figures in the press release about investment $ and new jobs created). Now we have a new base which appears to consist of a net gain of maybe 3/7 of an aircraft - if the Pescara aircraft is being used to operate the existing routes to Hahn, Stansted and Girona, then that's activity taken away from those bases. Is this the smallest-ever increase in service associated with a new Ryanair base announcement?
