It is Madrid BARAJAS we are talking about. Read through my posts and read the news articles I've including links to.

Ryanair's next base is Madrid Barajas

If Ryanair have yet to announce routes from Madrid, be it as a base or not, then it will not be on their website until its all official.

I would expect an annnouncement by the end of August if it is going to happen.

I'm surprised by your surprise.
News of a Ryanair base in Madrid has been rife this last month.
Ryanair just can't get enough of Eindhoven EIN right now, with already new services this winter to Glasgow PIK and Marseille MRS. Of the existing services all are performing very well, and Pisa PSA and Milan BGY are reportedly doing extremely well!

Eindhoven has a great catchment area, being in one of the most densely populated areas in Europe. (Although the immediate surrounding area is quite green).

So why not Madrid - Eindhoven?

Lyon LYS

Wow, merci for that juicy titbit of news Baron Rouge.

FR at LYS (France's 4th busiest Airport after CDG ORY NCE)
That would be great!

http://ufcna.com/forum-actualite.htm...orum=actualite
"Une toute nouvelle aérogare dédiée uniquement aux compagnies à bas coût doit ouvrir en septembre à Marseille. Pas de climatisation, des
escaliers pour accéder aux avions au lieu d'une passerelle, tout a été
pensé pour que les prestations coûtent le moins cher possible. La
redevance passager n'y sera que d'1,3 euro contre 6 euros dans un
terminal classique.
Ryanair a décidé d'y créer sa première base en France. L'aéroport compte ainsi faire passer son trafic low cost de 400.000 passagers par an à deux millions d'ici fin 2008.
Même scénario à Lyon, où l'aéroport a pour objectif 1,8 million de
passagers low cost en 2010, contre 200.000 actuellement.
L'aéroport réaménage à cet effet un vaste pavillon de 3.700m2 installé
à l'écart, où la redevance passager ne sera que de 1,5 euro. Ryanair et
EasyJet ont déjà répondu à l'appel à candidature. La décision doit être
prise cet été."

A quick translation of above ( http://babelfish.altavista.com ) gives that, yes, it appears that LYS are constructing a seperate dedicated low cost terminal/pavillion capable of handling 1.8 million passengers. Charges per passenger will be a mere €1.50, similar to the €1.30 being charged by the new Marseille low cost terminal.
Ryanair and Easyjet are currently in negotiations with Lyon, with decisions expected this summer Ryanair also have significant expansion plans for their new Marseille base which has even taken off yet!

I read i another article that Easyjet are almost certain to introduce 2 or 3 new routes to Lyon.

Interesting times ahead. High time someone came along shook up Air France anyway

Einhoven base

RAT 5

Ryanair wish to base 2 aircraft at Eindhoven, and add 11 destinations from there. However they will not base any aircraft there until they can be assured that they will not be impeded by the current noise deal with the locals, and not until the Ministry of Traffic has changed the law about sound restrictions at Eindhoven airport. (This is happening...) I don't know too much about all the legal/noise stuff, but I've heard it should be all sorted out soon. "Soon" as definied in politics I suppose... Looking at aircraft orders etc and hearing some hotter rumours on other potential bases we might have to wait until 2008 for an Eindhoven base. It will happen though

http://www.brabant.nl/layouts/SISHtm...45&doctype=doc
"Het merendeel van de GLOBE-partijen staat achter de groeiplannen van Eindhoven Airport. Een aantal partijen zijn op zich niet tegen een beperkte groei van de burgerluchtvaart op Eindhoven Airport, maar willen dit afhankelijk stellen van een inkrimping van de militaire oefenactiviteiten met jachtvliegtuigen op het vliegveld.
De groeiplannen betekenen concreet dat Ryanair begin volgend jaar op Eindhoven 2 vliegtuigen en op termijn nog eens 2 vliegtuigen permanent op Eindhoven Airport wil stationeren. Daarmee kan het aantal bestemmingen binnen Europa groeien van 5 naar 16 bestemmingen."

Quick translation ( you may also use http://babelfish.altavista.com ): "Most of the GLOBE-parties support the Eindhoven growth plans. Some are not against a limited growth in civilian aircraft movements at the airport, but wish that this should depend on the increase in military exercises using fighter jets at the airport. Ryanair have concrete plans to base 2 aircraft at Eindhoven next year (2006), expecting to increase their amount of destinations offered from 5 to 16."

Meanwhile Transavia will be basing an aircraft at Eindhoven from November and introducing routes to Faro, Malaga and Alicante. All the more encouragement for Ryanair to speed up their Eindhoven base plans

Copenhagen CPH

This is kind of old news but the UK Danish Embassy website was the last place I expected to find this article:

http://www.amblondon.um.dk/en/menu/T...genAirport.htm
"Budget airline Ryanair is in detailed negotiations with Copenhagen Airport regarding opening routes from the popular air travel hub. Copenhagen Airport was recently ranked the best in Europe for the fifth year in succession in an Aetra survey. If the negotiations have a positive outcome, Ryanair will be able to start flights from the Danish capital this autumn
Karl Högstadius, head of sales for Ryanair in Great Britain and Ireland comments: 'The Swedish government has decided to introduce a SEK 95 (USD 12.17) tax on airline tickets. When that tax comes into force we will cut down in Sweden.' From 1 July, Ryanair will close one of its two daily departures between Malmö and London as well as a new route between Malmö and Dublin.
Earlier this week, Copenhagen Airport announced that another budget airline will open a route from Copenhagen. Smart Vings, a Czech Republic airline, will start flights between Copenhagen and Prague on Mondays and Saturdays starting 5 June. In total, 10 budget airlines are now operating from Copenhagen. The news was reported by national newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
Copenhagen Airport is situated just 8 km southeast of Copenhagen city centre. The Øresund bridge between Denmark and Sweden makes a land connection close to the airport with exits from the Danish and Swedish motorway network directly into the airport areas. Copenhagen Airport's attractive location makes it a north European hub for air cargo traffic to Scandinavia, the Baltic States and the countries to the south of the Baltic Sea."

As it stands The Dublin - Malmo route has in fact not been axed, and has remained unchanged between the summer and winter timetables in the booking engine. I wouldn't be overly surprised though if there was an announcement soon, that from a certain date in the winter all Stansted and Dublin flights to Malmo are being moved to CPH...

In Denmark, you see, the opposite is happening to that in Sweden. This year both the Danish government aviation taxes and the CPH airport taxes have been reduced.

Although not at weekends when it repositions back to AMS. I think it is to do with the noise issues. Will have to sorted out because I dont think FR wil want a 5 day a week base

Yes CharlieRoy that sounded quite rude, I know it wouldn't be a surprise but I'm surprised by Ryanair releasing nothing and then people going around with rumours from no-where. And the rumour could just be bull.

But I will give it to you I do think that Ryanair will select Madrid for a new route, but they have confirmed nothing yet.
