So where does the Bremen base leave Lubeck? I can't imagine FR going ahead with another base so close geographically (yes I know STN and LTN are close, but they have an enormous local population). Can't see the LBC base being confirmed now, hopefully won't affect the Stockholm and Dublin routes from there.
On a similar topic, Infratil airports seem to have made very poor choices both in MSE and LBC, bit of a worry for them I would imagine.

Bergamo winter
BGY - LPL and BGY - NCL are now bookable for winter, albeit super late 
Glitch? Or has FR revised its winter plans for BGY and decided to maintain the status quo after all? Always thought it was going to be rather silly having FR operating Liverpool to Ancona, and not Liverpool to Milan

Yes, the confirmations of the BGY-NCL and BGY-LPL is a very big surprise.
For me, confirm these routes so late is a move of the despair not having done in time to announce new routes to replace them, with the winter schedule now to the doors.
However to complete the winter timetable of BGY base remain to announce new routes to replace these:
1) 3x week to the place of the reduction of BGY-PIK that goes from 7 to 4x week
2) 3x week to the place of the reduction of BGY-LBC that goes from 7 to 4x week
3) 7x week to the place of the BGY-CRL evening flight that from end of October will be operated with a CRL based plane.

Ryanair are advertising services from Liverpool to both Grenoble and Salzburg from 19th December but nothing loaded up on the system yet. However, unannounced routes I have noted for sale on the Ryanair site are
East Midlands to Grenoble, East Midlands to Salzburg and Prestwick to Grenoble.
East Midlands to Grenoble, East Midlands to Salzburg and Prestwick to Grenoble.

Dublin to Turin
Brussels to Turin
Brussels to Grenoble
Standsted to Klagenfurt
East Midlands to Grenoble
East Midlands to Salzburg
Prestwick to Grenoble
Still have to analyse which routes (if any) have been reduced from the bases involved (Stansted, Dublin, East Midlands, Prestwick, Brussels) to facilitate these new ski routes. Interesting move by Ryanair to maximise on the ski season. A bit like what Jet2 are doing.

Ski routes
So Ryanair shuffled their schedules about today for a number of bases so as to introduce some winter ski routes. A good idea in general as reduced routes will be guaranteed good loads, and the new routes can hope for high yields 
For example to facilitate the introduction of Brussels Charleroi - Grenoble and Turin, flights to Glasgow Prestwick and Valladolid have been reduced from 1234567 to 1-3-5-7. Grenoble and Turin are shorter rotations which is also good for pilot hours, fuel costs and yields. I'm a bit surprised though by the reductions in PIK. I thought maybe Carcassonne or Nimes would have been more obvious choices. After all, since SN Brussels axed their 10 weekly service to Glasgow earlier this year, PIK has been the only link between Ayrshire/Glasgow and Belgium
Anyone know where the reductions have been in East Midlands, Stansted, Dublin and Prestwick? (If any?) The Ryanair press release also talked about increased frequencies
and also about Luton, but no routes were announced for there today. However, it would seem for Luton that one aircraft still has one short rotation unscheduled 12345--. Maybe then Luton may also be getting an as of yet unannounced ski route?

The NRN situation...
The Winter 2006-2007 data for Niederrhein (EDLV/NRN) look like this:
STN 16x weekly (vs. Summer 2006: 12)
SNN 3 (4)
CIA 4 (7)
GRO 7 (7)
NYO 7 (7)
PIK 4 (4)
Sum: 41 (41)
No big changes for an airport that's desperate for more flights...!

With these new ski route Ryanair for first time in history open seasonal routes! It's a big change in his politics to operate route only all year round.
So next year it will be possible to introduce new seasonal routes to typical summer destinations like PMI, IBZ and MAH like Easyjet?

Ryanair signs deal for in-flight mobile phone service
From RTE news this morning
http://www.rte.ie/business/2006/0830/ryanair.html
Ryanair has agreed a deal with communications joint venture OnAir to fit its aircraft with technology to allow passengers to use their mobile phones on planes.
Ryanair said in a statement today that it would install the system on its entire fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft from mid-2007.
'Ryanair's passengers will be able to call, text and e-mail using their mobile phones, BlackBerrys and Treos at rates which will mirror international roaming charges,' the airline said.
Users will be charged by their mobile service providers on their monthly bills and Ryanair will receive a commission from OnAir, it said.
OnAir is a joint venture between planemaker Airbus and information technology systems provider SITA. Its ground network will be provided by Monaco Telecom.
Ryanair shares were up nine cent to €7.50 in Dublin this morning.

possible new routes
RYANAIR PROPOSES NEW ROUTES FOR MALTA
Ryanair today (30th August) confirmed that it had submitted proposals to the Maltese Government to fly three new routes to Malta International Airport from London Luton, Pisa and Dublin. The proposal is a response to the Maltese Government’s call to low cost airlines for offers to fly routes to the Mediterranean island.
Ryanair’s plan is to launch, on a year round basis, a daily service from London Luton starting on 31st October 2006, a three times weekly service from Pisa starting on 31st October 2006 and a three times weekly service from Dublin starting on 9th February 2007.

Ryanair passenger refused wheelchair
Don't know what to make of this story:
http://www.irishpost.co.uk/news/story.asp?j=4561
I think the check-in girl should have gotten over the whole rules and regulations thing and just tried her best along with airport staff to find the man a wheelchair.
Then though, I think if the guy really was so sick should he have been allowed to fly... ?

"NEW"
Standsted to Klagenfurt
Didn't they drop route when incentive stopped (wasn't this one about five years?). No more Styrian Spirit, so who's courted who to get this one back?

Budget airline Ryanair has announced it is launching three routes to the Malta International Airport. Starting its operations in November, the services include daily flights to Luton and three flights a week to Pisa, Italy.
In a business breakfast, the company announced that it will also run a route between Malta and Dublin, three times a week. This new service will begin in February

This is either bad reporting/journalism by this website, or their source conveyed incorrect information to them. The Maltese government already said that the proposal analysis will take weeks not days. Ryanair are anxious to know whether the proposal will be accepted or not, so they reveal their proposal with dates and frequencies and all to get the Maltese people and others excited, and thereby pressurising the government into choosing in favour of Ryanair, and soon!
Also, Easyjet have proposed to serve Luton. I believe only one operator will be allowed to fly this route. It hasn't been decided yet who, and it is a potential stumbling block for the whole thing. If Ryanair don't get Luton they might say that they won't do any routes at all then, blah blah blah.
But it is only natural that Ryanair want this proposal analysis process sped up so bookings can start asap, or because if they do fail to be awarded the incentives, then they need to implement other scheduling plans for the Dublin, Luton and Pisa aricraft involved...

Its an old route but started up again dont know how they can call it a new route though. They have done that before they did it with Esberg last year I think as well
