Baile Atha Cliath
Referring to the recently announced FR expansion at Dublin, I have done a quick analysis which has proved quite interesting. The expansion will be thanks to the arrival of 3 new aircraft: one December 19th, another January 23rd, and the last one February 8th. The planes are scheduled for the following usage:
New Aircraft December 19
1-3-5-7 Tampere, Oslo (Finishes day at 20:15)
-2-4-6- Friedrichshafen, Oslo, Grenoble (Finishes day at 22:10)
Certainly, we can expect another new route with this aircraft on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays
New Aircraft January 23
1-----7 Vitoria, Billund (Finishes day at 16:00)
-2---6- Seville, Almeria (Finishes day at 21:15)
--3-5-- Vitoria, Billund, Rezeszow (Finishes day at 23:30)
---4--- Seville (Finishes day at 13:55)
This aircraft is only fully utilised on Wednesdays and Fridays! Again potential for new routes considering the gaps in the schedule
New Aircraft February 8
1-3-5-7 Madrid, Bologna (Finishes day at 19:40)
-2-4-6- Madrid, Pula (Finishes day at 19:40)
This aircraft is free every evening to do one more rotation. Thus we could expect 1 or 2 new routes still to come with the introduction of this aircraft
Seeing as Ryanair love to maximise use of their aircraft, these gaps will definitely be filled. I suppose the may also be used to increase frequencies on certain existing routes, but a good few new routes are also likely in my opinion. Apparently Ryanair are still in negotiations with the as of yet unannounced new destinations, and/or securing pilots/staff for Dublin, and/or still thinking about what competitors' routes from Dublin they can target...
Anyone any info?

Stockholm reductions
From mid-January the booking system shows the Wednesday flights from Skavsta to the following airports disappearing:
Frankfurt
Brussels
Girona
Paris
Riga
Hamburg
Effectively this would mean 2 Skavsta aircraft grounded on Wednesdays
What could this be?
Frankfurt
Brussels
Girona
Paris
Riga
Hamburg
Effectively this would mean 2 Skavsta aircraft grounded on Wednesdays
What could this be? - A glitch?
- Staff shortages?
- An attempt to punish Sweden further?
- A preferance to ground aircraft rather than fly half empty planes mid-week in winter?

malaga
does anybody know why ryanair dont fly to malaga from more uk airports, sure they could easily shake up a number of airlines on that route, for example a route out of bpl would do well if had decent flight times unlike monarch who buggered theirs up with flying late at night then wonders why nobody books the flight then.

Also a route like STN - AGP would be hugely popular I'm sure. I just assume the fee's are too high for it to fly to from several UK airports , the same with Alicante. It flies to Murcia (Alicante) and Granada (Malaga I suppose).

Ryanair Legal Threat
Has MOL finally lost the plot, or what!
I understand from the radio news this morning that if the UK Government do not remove the baggage restrictions currently in place at UK airports Mad Mick is going to take them to Court!
I have never heard such drivel in all my life, is this guy for real or what!?
Maybe he should re-address his policy on hold baggage first!
The bloke is a complete
Michael, you have got it all wrong mate, it is Mr Bin-liner you should be sueing, as it is all his fault in the first place, or should that be George Bush?

Ryanair to sue UK Government over security issues.
It reported on the BBC news website that Ryanair are to sue the UK Government for £3.3M for losses incurred during the increased security following the recent terror plot.
I was wondering how other users on this forum feel about this ?
I have heard many comments regarding this from family, friends and colleagues who are somewhat all in agreement that this action is wholly inappropiate. The action taken to thwarte the intended actions, that could have resulted in thousands of deaths, was swift and necessary. In the event of a terrorist act actually occuring, the whole airline industry would have been severely disrupted, and traffic numbers substancially reduced for some time. This, in turn, would have cost Ryanair (and all other airlines) far more than a week or so's "inconvenience" of extra security checks. Indeed, many airlines would not have survived such losses and would surely have collapsed.
By persuing compensation, Ryanair could open the gates from other airlines for similar claims. Of course, another indirect effect could be that the government agencies may hesitate to take similar, prompt action in the future weighing up the possible risk with the cost of paying out compensation to the likes of Michael O'Leary.
So, what do other users of this forum think ? Is Ryanair right to sue for compensation, or should the losses incurred be part of the cost of running a business in the current situation ?

I think Ryanair are right to sue. The authorities went completely overboard on security for too long after the threat was revealed. I'm surprised they need to sue though. Wouldn't insurance cover these loses?

ThredNedul The action taken to thwarte the intended actions, that could have resulted in thousands of deaths, was swift and necessary
Swift yes. Necessary I don’t think so. Many people believe that just because action is taken it is an improvement in security. In fact the opposite is true. The security system has a limited resource. If you focus that resource in the wrong area then you have weakened the security level. At stansted extra staff were deployed to take food and water away from flight crew members and to body search them. These flight crew members all have security passes to the same level as the guards searching them. The worst case scenario is then that a terrorist is searching a terrorist. We all agree that this is ridiculous so why waste resource on it.
At the same time queues were getting longer and longer for the pax as there were not enough guards to search them. This is just one example I could bore you all day with many more. Crew were allowed to take mobile phones but not car keys with electronic fobs. Whats that all about?
Miss guided security is worse than no security.

Bremen
Rumoured routes from the new Bremen base include:
Milan
Pisa
Dublin
Stockholm
http://www.taz.de/pt/2006/08/26/a0340.1/text
"Eine 'Riesenchance für diese Stadt', findet dagegen der Flughafen-Fan Stephan von Dellingshausen, der einen Verein der 'Freunde des Flughafens' betrieb, die Verhandlungen mit Ryanair - 15 neue Verbindungen sollen gebunden werden, darunter Linien nach Stockholm, Pisa, Mailand oder nach Dublin."
Translation: "A 'giant chance for this city', believes airport supporter Stephan von Dellingshausen, who chairs the local 'friends of the airport' association, and who was involved in the Ryanair negotiations - 15 new connections are to be launched, among them lines to Stockholm, Pisa, Milan, even Dublin."
Can't see Stockholm in the first wave of routes if this Swedish aviation tax goes ahead or remains uncertain. Not surprised by Pisa, Milan or Dublin. That just leaves 12 more routes...
My money's on Stansted, Liverpool, Paris Beauvais, Marseille, Girona, Murcia, Oslo Torp, Krakow, Gdansk, Rome, Venice Treviso and Salzburg.
Milan
Pisa
Dublin
