"Had read news articles alright that Bremen had been singled out as a future Ryanair destination, but I am really shocked to hear that Bremen is to be a base."
I would expect to see the usual "1m pa potential" hot air, but one or two inward routes first, then upgrade to a base later if they sell well.
Poor Hamburg Lübeck must be disgusted that Bremen'll be a Ryanair base.
Think local politics has got in the way here - LBC was refused permission to upgrade airfield facilities, so FR took their expansion plans elsewhere.

Billund is in Jutland which is the part of Denmark which borders Germany. Copenhagen lies on an island between Jutland and Sweden. I think Legoland is near Billund.

They made a big song and dance about Denmark removing its aviation tax, so this finally sees them bringing a promised new route.
Wouldn't have expected a base at MAD straight away, but FR do seem to have a few Iberian routes from Ireland (and CRL) which they don't do from the UK (also AGP, FAO).
MAD just doesn't seem to be Ryanair's "type" of airport, but do they have plenty of spare space after the new terminal opened? Or are they operating these routes because they can get decent yields due to relative lack of competition?
Either way, just goes to show that FR will go anywhere if the deal is right.

I'm surprised they are going to Barajas too. I thought that it might have been that new Don Quxiote airport which is not really in Madrid at all, but will have a high speen rail link. Don't know when it will open though.

It will be intersting to see what happens on the DUB-MAD route as both EI and IB are already flying it. FR are adding 12 new routes including MAD from DUB, so it will be very intersting to see what happens in the latest round of EI vs FR in DUB!!!

Move over Aer Lingus! Ryanair is now Ireland’s national airline.
I would not be happy if an airline like this bully boy represented my country.
The luck of the Irish has just run out me thinks to be sure.

Still waiting for Cuidad Real to open - or are they negotiating behind the scenes with AENA to open a new base in one of Europe's biggest airports?
