During high summer season (June until end of August) additional aircrafts could be based at ALC, AGP, PMI, FAO or PSA.
Starting September FRA and STN will get new routes so aircrafts from those "sun bases" might allocate to this airports.
I do not see any night stop in MRS like the years before.
Outlook (page 17):
https://investor.ryanair.com/wp-cont...esentation.pdf
427 aircrafts until end of 1st quarter 2018 (31st March 2018) -> +44 aircrafts compared to the current 383. Growth will take place in Spain, Portugal, Morocco + Eastern Europe (against Wizz Air).
Is there any operational reason why FUE is not a base?
