Yeah - very wierd that most of the FR schedules are not yet bookable from 28Feb from EMA.
The wording of the press release on Fr's website yesterday indicated that the aircraft freed up through the 4 route suspensions would be used in the next round of expansion. Of course, they are actually talking about 4 aircraft, because the suspended routes are all at different bases.
An EMA - MAD 3xweekly would be a pretty good start!!

Ryanair Taxes And Charges
On Friday 13th Oct taxes and charges on the MAN-DUB route are 21.68 outbound and 11.92 return. On the following Monday they are 9.98 outbound and 9.96 return. Why is there such a difference between the two days?
Do they accurately effect what Ryanair have to pay the government/airports or are they just a money making ploy to say that they are only charging 0.01 for the flight?

The Annual General Meeting of Ryanair Holdings plc will be held on September 21, 2006 at 10.00 am in The Clarion Hotel, Dublin Airport, Co. Dublin. It could be the good opportunity to make this announcement there(?)

There is even a Member of the European Parliament calling for laws against Ryanair stealth taxes. In short, a good porportion of Ryanair's "taxes and fees" are dreamed up and poorly disguised surcharges.

Wheelchair levy makes an enormous profit. Here's the maths:
189 pax paying, I think, 50p. = 94.50GBP: on EVERY flight!!
Airport Cost of wheelchair (shared with airport) = +/- 15GBP for each party.
Max number of wheelchairs per flight = 4.
Most pax who use a wheel chair regularly bring there own, therefore no airport charge.
RYR have 120a/c flying 8 sectors per day. In August they claimed to have flown 4.0m pax each paying 50p, for nothing.
You do the calculation!!!
Add to that the compulsory insurance levy. Wow. If any of this is stopped the profits would take a big hit. Stealth taxes that Gordon would be proud of.

There has been an interesting analysis about this in The Times recently:
http://travel.timesonline.co.uk/arti...5409_3,00.html
The wheelchair levy adds 34m GBP to Ryanair's bottom line annually.....

They are all at it. I was looking at flights Edinburgh to London last week and BA and BMI are just the same if not worse. With BMI the flights I looked at were priced £4 each way and then had £94 taxes and charges applied !!!!!. How do they all get away with it?.

Its easy. Civilised countries law requires airlines (and all businesses) to only advertise fares with taxes inclusive. Therefore pax only pay the advertised fare. Clear and unambiguous. Just daft that this country doesnt have same law. Wouldnt petrol seem cheap if advertised the same way.....
Same goes for advertising any products ex VAT. Should be illegal.

Not exactly, it's something more important (I guess). An Annual general meeting is generally held every year to inform the members of previous and future activities (AGM is in some cases required by law to hold, e.g. for the shareholders). FR's shareholders want to know about the future plans obviously, so... a kind of announcement concerning base(es) could (should?) be made at the time.

OPO isn't the next Ryanair base
This article says that OPO will probably will not be soon a Ryanair base, only next 3 years.

Another. The interest of Pico Island - PIX to Ryanair flights, but it's depending on OPO Base.

Ryanair expands Dublin routes
Ryanair has announced new routes from Dublin and confirmed it had carried four million passengers in August.
Ryanair announced new routes from Dublin to Malta, Stockholm and the Canary Islands for summer 2007. The airline added that it is doubling the frequency of services from Dublin to Berlin, Rome, Malaga and Faro.
The expansion of the Dublin service announced today by Ryanair's chief executive Michael O'Leary is a clear statement of intent to take on Aer Lingus from its home base.

There was talk of RYR flying to the AZORES,
A friend of mine high up in RYR keeps saying that I will have to
wait to find out whats going to happen, but she says its going

Ryanair talked about this in a press release dated September 4th. You can read on their website in the latest news section, in an article titled: "RYANAIR: 1st AIRLINE TO CARRY 4M PAX A MONTH"
