Cesare, did the press article say that there would be 3 new routes from Rimini? Or did it say that there would be 1 new route, 3 times a week?

There are some rumors that Ryanair might fly to Maribor from Frankfurt, London and Barcelona.

Other notice about Ryanair. This is about a new base in Poland.
Gazeta.pl Warsaw Business Jornal - 30/10/2006
.............................
No time to dawdle
But officials in Poland say that there is no time left to wait. "We don't have time to build a new, large airport for Warsaw. We have to open the two airports to relieve Chopin Airport so it can function normally," Kalita says. Zasada claims that realistically it will take 15 to 20 years to build a new airport in a greenfield location in Poland. "That's a whole era. So for the next 20 years we are going to use the already overcrowded Chopin Airport?" he asks.
Kalita points to Ryanair's recent declaration that they could fly six million passengers to Warsaw annually. "Others also want to fly here. We can't base our assumptions on Chopin Airport's data. You don't know how many passengers would fly to Warsaw if we had more capacity," he says.
"I think Modlin and Sochaczew should be opened because that is what Poland's air traffic needs," Kalita concludes.
Low cost, big influence
Zasada points to another factor that LCCs frequently complain about - Okęcie's high fees. "The low-cost airlines, which will dominate the market for the next five years, will just force us to open a new airport. If not, we might find ourselves in a situation where airlines start playing a more active role in this field," he claims. There are already rumors that Ryanair is considering locating its new technical base in Jasionka near Rzeszów in southeastern Poland. Experts claim that this could be used as a bargaining chip to force authorities to open Modlin airport.
Sochaczew Airport's president points out that there are cities with more than one budget airport. "London has three low-cost airports and they are working fine. Warsaw can be a miniature version of that model," Zasada said.

If you want to go to Verona you can take LPL-BGY route.
Bergamo (BGY) is not too far from Verona.
Maybe tour operator use Ryanair flights to Bergamo and then transfer people to Verona by coach.

Myös Venäjän puolelta etenkin Pietarin alueelta tulee Ryanairille matkustajia. He ajavat omalla autollaan tänne Pirkkalaan ja jatkavat lentäen matkaa muualle Eurooppaan.
See, that's what I was writing about a year ago. Would you imagine driving yourself hundreds of kilometers just in order to get to the nearest low-cost airport? If you didn't know, the distance from St. Peterburg to Tampere by road is a meagre 550 kilometers! You wouldn't, would you? But such a travel is still advantageous for these people in spite of fuel costs and fatigue, giving some indication about how expensive the flight tickets actually in Russia are. I've heard also about Russian people driving their cars (or making an exhausting travel in night trains) from Sankt-Peterburg to Latvian Riga - for the same purpose. Would you believe?
Looking at the new trend, we cannot regard Russians as a "mass of a colourless poor people" anymore. There are many social classes in Russia nowadays: a rich minority (that will never be interested in low-cost sector as passengers, they could only be investors), and yes, there still is a large group of people too poor to even consider flying to Western Europe. Apart from that, there did however emerge a pretty strong middle-class too. And just this group could be a target for RYR & Co. for the future expansion. If miracles happen, Russia will join Open Skies and we'll see new low-cost airports being built around Moscow and Sankt-Peterburg. Otherwise, you still can benefit (as a carrier and as a local community) and take part in this development by serving the Russian citizens at a dedicated Airport(s) as close to the Russian border as possible. Did you know St. Petersburg is less than 170 km from the EU border in some directions? It's possible to make use of some airports in Finland (albeit Tampere is too distant, look at EFLP) or in Estonia, Latvia, Poland and so on. It would mean providing bus transfers and many other organizing efforts, but It would pay. Just a vision? Maybe, I can't help being a visioneer, but the low-cost air travel in Europe is far from saturation, that's what I'm pointing at.

Ryanair has just announced half year profits of $418m, up 39% for H1.
MO'L has just been on CNN (and presumably he'll be on other channels through the day). Not much new and he repeated that if the ESOT Trustees vote against the takeover, FR will still remain a minority shareholder of EI.

Ryanair passengers have been told that flights to Spain are now operating as normal, and checked in baggage of up to 15 kg per person is being accepted.

Ryanair leaves Belgian cyclists stranded
It took the Belgian cycling team longer than expected to reach Treviso for Saturday's World Cup cyclocross race. The cyclists checked in at Charleroi for a Friday morning flight to Treviso (Venice), only to be told afterwards that the flight had been cancelled. The cyclists had no choice but to collect their luggage and make their way to Brussels airport. They had to buy new and more expensive tickets to fly from there. Some of the cyclists only left Brussels at 8.45pm.

Advance booking of this flight it's a disaster! Pratically ever flight from now to march is sold at 0.01 cent!
Now Hahn base have a 3x week free frequency to reallocate.

Shannon Yield
Ryanair flights to several european destinations from SNN next week have still fares at 1 cent each way. No wonder MOL continues to be disappointed with the yields there.

Hhn-vrn
@cesare:
HHN-VRN was reduced to 4x weekly back in September. At the same time, HHN-GOA was announced (3x weekly), so it looks as though the capacity has already been reallocated.
Don't you think that it's a little bit early to condemn a route as being a 'disaster' when it has only been running for a week or two at one of the weakest times of year?

Online Check In
Just tried to book a flight. The new baggage policy means that online check-in is compulsory if you travel with only hand baggage, so basically they are putting an extra charge of Ł2/€3 per segment if you travel with only hand luggage. If you don't check in online you will still have to pay for it! This is ridiculous. So much for the low fares airline
