So they're not going to bother Thomsonfly at DSA then?

I only see 2 of Jet2's LBA routes there! So who are they targeting?

Sounds like a squeeze on old Tommyfly to me.

[airhumberside]

No Rome or Milan or Shannon or Stockholm? Would have expected at least Rome, it seems to be one of FR's larger hubs

[egnxema]

Not read anything about this other than in this thread.

They seem a very unusual bunch of routes for a new base.

Has this rumour got any substance?

[caa19]

If this is true would be very interesting...

[Robo's law]

Jet2 flightdeck are already moving on to Ryanair with more about to go.

A Donny base will just encourage more to apply, if not for the money it will be for a sensible form of rostering.

Good luck to Ryanair

[Spurr]

Wrong. New Base is Bristol

[Robo's law]

Shame if its not Donny it would be a winner with a ready supply of pilots up the road waiting to move on.

Hope its Donny

I have also heard that Ryanair are to set up a BRS base later this year initially with 2 a/c

[7006 fan]

Would have thought it would have been on the Ryan web-site now, surely? (Only recent news item is a bit of EZ bashing) MO'L is not the sort to shy from publicity, is he? With this sort of commitment would have thought every paper in the S. Yorks/Humber region would have been covered in promotion of this coup? Let alone the regional news, BBC especially?
Even the official Robin Hood website has nothing, and they are usually first to trumpet, therefore...
Salt and pinch spring to mind!

[airhumberside]

Havent FR already announced they will base an aircraft at BRS to operate SNN and DUB?

[NCLRULES]

No, I think the flights are operated by SNN and DUB based aircraft?

[MerchantVenturer]

NCLRULES is correct.

FR have operated their three daily DUB-BRS rotations with DUB based a/c for several years and the timetable timings suggest this will continue into the winter.

They are to start a daily SNN-BRS in the autumn with a SNN based a/c.

There have been no rumours in the BRS thread about FR setting up a BRS base.

[airhumberside]

Must have got a bit mixed up. Sorry

[7006 fan]

Still nothing on the Ryan site, Robin Hood site, TV or newspapers. I think this rumour has run it's course. Nice thought though but...

[WATABENCH]

I thought new FR base was going to be CWL just to add it into the Donny/Brizzle debate.
Spurr - Where did you here BRS from, was it a good source?

[holidaymax]

I think this rumour has run it's course. Nice thought though but...

7006fan you will see how much of a Rumour Ryanair is before Christmas

[pamann]

Could even be Manston acording to other threads. Who knows for sure hey?
