Ryanair.
Having rechecked the schedules as they presently stand, there are 7 a/c required each day for the early wave of departures in August 2016. I'd missed the 4 x weekly to ACE when suggesting only 6 were needed on 4 days.
I came up with a total of 228 weekly departures for dates in August 2016, so I was slightly surprised to find in the ACL report for the start of summer this year that it showed 438 Ryanair movements - 219 departures - for the peak week. Whether that actually happened I don't know, but with the extra net frequencies currently showing for next year it seems rather odd. But were there not 8 based a/c in August this year?
Things will no doubt change and it will be interesting to see the extent of such changes when Shed does his analysis and then compared to the final outcome.
