What people always seem to forget is that a huge number of Ryanair flights are operated by non-based aircraft. For an airline such as Jet2, all routes are operated by BFS based aircraft, so obviously more based aircraft means more routes. But for Ryanair, they can add a number of new routes without having to add any new aircraft. Of course, another based aircraft means more pilot and cabin crew jobs, which is good for the economy, but ultimately it is the routes themselves that are worth a lot more.
