Originally the Monday night flight was Corfu for Olympic, which was
changed to a once weekly IT to Bodrum from 25/7/11 I believe.

Therefore the May start is an upgrade and the Friday replaces the
Olympic Heraklion, so this is extra for the destination but not as a
movement.

Still no 5th aircraft as rumoured just 4 extremely busy ones!

I now make it that the down time on the four based and where
other flights could be squashed in amount to Tuesday evening
after the IT Heraklion (used to be PMI) and Wednesday after
the Papfos.

I suppose you can't blame them building in some slack in case
of tech issues. Quite a schedule really.

The only downside is that Palma still only operates on four days
and Alicante is still only six days with the Monday given over to
a second weekly Almeria.

If they had the aircraft I am sure consideration to a 5th based
would have been given. Larnaca for instance will still be three a
week despite the disappearance of Cyprus Airways and Papfos
although new as a schedule service operated last year as IT.

Baby and Ryanair's May - October schedule is similar to 2010.
