I see the STN - REU route in all the places I should. Seems like you are having technical problems again...
Why? Javascript settings of your browser maybe?? Actually, I have no idea...
Are you on an Apple Mac?
Try a new browser maybe. Mozilla Firefox or Opera.

So, according to independent sources, MOL is going to visit WAW tomorrow as well as giving the speech on the press conference. I wonder, if the 'goodbye LOT" (zegnamy pll lot) aircraft will be seen :-)
Anyway, if really so, than the very first connection from MOL's infamous WAW will probably be opened...

Denis O'Brien buys 2.1% of Aer Lingus for over €32 million.
The businessman Denis O'Brien has bought 2.1% of Aer Lingus for over €32 million.
In a statement to RTÉ News, he said he had purchased the shares in the airline because he believed in competition and because Aer Lingus was a company with a strong national and international reputation.
Mr O'Brien said he has agreed to support the pilots and the staff and the board and management of the company.

Aer Lingus pilots bought more shares in the airline today in an attempt to block Ryanair's hostile takeover.
They bought 300,000 shares at €2.90 per share, spending €870,000.
This latest purchase of shares brings the stake held by pilots to 2.24%.
Concerns over use of pension fund
The Pensions Board has contacted trustees in an Aer Lingus pilots' pension fund and raised concerns about the fund buying shares.
The concern is that the pilots' strategy of buying shares to block Ryanair's bid could reduce the Aer Lingus share price.
That could result in a loss on the investment for the pension fund and its pensioners.
The trustees of the pilots' fund have been told they have a duty to act in the best financial interest of members.

Thought the reason they were dropping LTN-VST was due to costs at VST.
Simply moving it back to STN makes a mockery of that argument, but does follow a pattern of so many ryanair routes out of LTN which end up back at STN. No doubt RAK & FEZ will be next to go across to essex, in the coming months. Makes you wonder why ryan really bother with LTN at all.

So Ryanair had a problem with the tax policies of the Swedish government. That's when they decided to cut Luton to Vasteras.
Now there's nes government that Ryanair prefer. So they probably thought, let's reintroduce Luton to Vasteras. But then seeing that the aircraft schedules in Luton are completely full now, they thought about juggling around with the Stansted schedules and trying to fit in a Vasteras servive there. And yes, then was possible, so now we have a STN - VST route.
I don't think Ryanair had a big anti-Luton scheme to drop ("move") the route on purpose.

Have FR and NYO fallen out or is NYO not offering a good deal at the moment. I would have thought the DUB route would have gone to NYO (as an FR base) and not Vasteras (although good for Vasteras that its keeping FR and getting expanded service from them)

I read in AW recently that there's an old military airbase being converted to a commercial airport just north of Stockholm which is being aimed at LCC only and I think it might be more accesible to Stockholm by road then the two other airports currently served by RYR...maybe RYR will move their base to here once it opens if they're still at odds with NYO ???

EI are running around like headless chickens and hiring ex Eurocrats on undoubtedly serious money to try to head it off. Now all MOL has to do is dump the stock, take his profit and be on his merry way while EI figure out which way is up and the recriminations between which employee groups (or their pension funds) ponied up for more shares and who didn't begins.

I didn't actually see why the last thread went off course; sure, we got into talking about long haul routes and pre-clearance, but this was not irrelevant. There are MASSIVE opportunities on long haul routes from Ireland, once we get the O/S in place, particularly now that the customs pre-clearance consent has been given. This means that any US airport with a runway long enough is theoretically accessible from DUB. Who has 40 years of t/a experience? Aer Lingus. Who has the experience of developing new markets aggressively (and more importantly, the dosh)? Ryanair.
OK, that's simplistic and I know there's a lot of obstacles, but that is still what it comes down to. When the ratio of flights changes next year (between DUB and SNN), US carriers will also be able to expand on Irish routes and effectively treble services to DUB. Is EI in a position to cope with this? Is 12-14 acft going to be enough to exploit and develop all the opportunities ahead? If the answer is "no", then hobbling on is NOT the answer; the answer is to find a partner that can help and that's FR. EI may not like them, but if the alternative is being snowed under by the big US carriers, then it's worth going for. It would be an appalling oversight to just fritter away the opportunities ahead. Change is painful, but obsolescence more so. We've done it so often in the past - and so casually; let's not let it happen again.
With all of the parties lined up against FR seemingly focused on that one goal - being anti-FR, I feel the real danger is that these parties aren't seeing the long term goal; that's why I would like to see the govt, as a minority shareholder convene a meeting of all interested parties, starting with one simple goal: what is your vision for EI. Once common ground has been identified, then it should be less difficult to agree on some of the means to achieve this? Is that too much to ask, particularly for a govt that has managed to bring SF and the DUP together?
