Ryan have BZR, LDY, KUN, RZE, SZZ, TPS all bookable from LTN from the end of Oct. Most routes seem to operate two or three times a week. BGY seems to have gone for the winter .

Perhaps a Milan from easy might be possible, to fill the gap. The route carries some 15,000pax/month.

Great news to see some new routes from Ryanair...

I am hoping these new routes are not at the expense of other routes they operate and will be another 1-2 aircrafts based here!

Milan might return, most of the UK regional routes to Milan are operated by Bergamo based aircrafts and the LTN routes was one of the exceptions.

Over about the last 3-4 yrs FR has not grown at LTN, but continued to chop and change routes while other bases have seen growth and routes remain. Lets hope this is a change in the right direction.

---------------------------------------------

After looking at other established routes Reus and Malta are both reduced from daily to 3-4 times weekly and with Brest and Milan now discontinued for winter it looks liek the new routes can be operated with the existing number of 4 aircrafts. As none of the new routes are daily...

I find it laughable how LTN-Derry will operate 4 times weekly, while EZY operate LTN-BFS 5-6 times daily. I would have thought this route could easily work daily or even twice daily.

Grrr

Shannon based airframe to operate that route.

A few additional flights to Dublin per week.

Kerry up to 4 per week from 3.

Less Malta, Reus and Nimes.

No Brest or Milan.

Having departed through LTN yesterday early evening, I heard two different reasons for all the delays.

Whilst the end result of lengthy delays and backed up services was the same, some folks said that the check-in systems had failed and some that there was a power failure that caused them to go down. Anyone know which was correct?

Computers went off line at 11.30 so check-in had to be done manually. No idea if that meant that the baggage belt also packed up.

Everything went down including the xray scanners at security so in effect no one could go into the departure lounge !

Thanks Caveman, sounds like a serious power outage across a wide part of the terminal.

A new question, so a new post.

The Thomson LTN to TLV - what a/c operate the route?? Their prices are very competitive but I cannot find out the a/c type. The fancy adverts for their revamped long haul do not apply to this one.

Cheers.

I think the LTN - TLV is usually operated by a Boeing 737-800.
