I think it's getting more and more apparrent that Ryanair need different sized aircrafts. There's only so much expansion that can go on with the 737-800 in Europe.
Ryanair is in need of differentiating, true. But it's not about the aircraft size. It's a question of providing more options for flying, much more versatile options.
They need something like the new C-Series or E175/95 to fuel expansion in the Nordic Region
No, no. If they fly to places like Lappeenranta, they have to re-think the entire issue. Flying out of LPP just to Charleroi and Weeze is by far too monotonous. To get pax more excited about these destinations, FR has to create the option of connecting flights. Having the DAILY flights somewhere, e.g. to CRL, alternately morning and evening flights, would give pax an opportunity of making connections. Further to any city in Spain, Italy, Portugal. Just two morning flights a week with no return in the evening give no chance to travel anywhere but... well, to Charleroi and the city of Brussels. That's it. That's the problem. Any small airport will provide loads of pax if THEY, the passengers, can make their choice where to fly. No need to reduce the size of aircraft.
Think different, for God's sake!
