okes apart,it seems to me that winter A/C deliveries are nearly full now.
Not so sure that there are aircrafts left for both CRL and MAD now for the winter schedule.

Interesting, so MAD and CRL expansion will be delayed to spring of 2008?

What does it mean Майкл О'Лири? Well, I know that 
, many years ago I've learned some Russian. It's just how Russians write the name of Michael O'Leary. But why do the Russians discuss about him? It's quite interesting. MOL is just getting a new job (according to this article). He'll become a business consultant for an emerging Russian low-cost carrier, A1. It doesn't necessarily mean any new low cost connections from Russia to the EU, as the airline wants to fly mainly from Moscow to some domestic destinations, but it's an intriguing news anyway. One of the investors in the new LCC will be David Bonderman from Texas Pacific Group. 
- to mention just that.

FR Shannon Belfast
MOL has requested a feasibility study to be done to assess if there is enough business for the route between Shannon & Belfast. See uk airports news for the info.

Ryanair have announced new routes from Madrid to Baden Baden, Sicily, Liverpool, Venice, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt and Sardinia. It is on the Ryanair website, but only as a Spanish press release- it's quite easy to understand, however. Wonder why it is not bookable or showing anywhere else?

If this was to happen, where would they move the aircraft to and which routes would be moved?
My guess would be LTN, but that is the home of EZY, and it wouldn't go down very well, even for the all powerful FR!
SEN could be an option but it would certainly be long shot as the airport can currently only hold 500,000 passengers per annum. I suppose 4 planes is too much for the airport to handle, especially on the busier days.
Cambridge which has been discussed before could be an option. The airport has a very long runway and good connections to the capital. It would, however have to build a new terminal.
This is probably ideal threats from MOL who will see a drop in prices as a bonus and will not be fully expecting BAA to commit to it's demands. Would be very surprised if the company did give in to FR, even if the airline is the company's second largest customer after BA.
If this was to happen, it would be very interesting! STN could lose it's place at number 3 in the UK airports list and there could be more red and orange tails around STN by next summer!
I think this shouyld just be taken with a pinch of salt for now. Lets look more surprised in mid October if they announce the removal!

LTNs is longer than that at 7086ft, but still 6000ft is not short. It can take a full load within 1000 miles with ease. They do at BLK to GRO and I am sure they do at many other airports across Europe and North Africa.
P.S. Very appropriate name for this conversation!

The PIK-Pisa flight is always operated by a PIK based a/c except for a Wednesday
Anyway I suspect Ryanair and Infratil are still in the huff with each other so dont expect any FR growth at PIK(although I would love to be proved wrong!!)

I know extra aircraft based is unlikely at the moment,that's why a reduction of frequency on current routes is the only way to open new routes,hence the PIK-Pisa example.
Anyway FR seems to be fighting with many of its bases airports,such as STN and MAD
So a future expansion might still be possible..

I personally think that LPL would get one of the aircraft, as MOL pledged to grow the with the airport over the next couple of years, but I don't think that there is enough room at the airport for more a/c!
My guess is that Derry would become a base and they would base two a/c there. Then base the extra a/c at MAD, if EZY don't get there first!
