EI-BUD. Thanks.

Yes it right tht there are routes that are too small for the 738 but I do not think that RYR will ever operate another completely different type. Their business model depends on simplicity. Everything has to be the same.

What they are going to have to do though is get closer to the really big markets which already generate vast traffic volumes for numerous airlines. They are very weak in Paris and Berlin just for starters. The Rhine basin needs more flights and routes. Scotland looks to be opening up for them if the rumours about Globespan are half true. Leeds/Bradford serves the second largest conurbation in Britain and offers huge opportunities. They can surely offer better prices and services than Jet2. There are opportunities at Gatwick. Spain and Italy are both excellent opportunities for them. The largest carriers in both countries are strapped by high costs.

They have nothing in Greece and the Canaries, particularly to Scandinavia in the winter have huge promise.

IMHOThere will be little difficulty in filling the next 200 hundred planes.
