They have spare aircraft for XL pax
Ryanair, Europe’s leading low fares airline, today (12th September 2008), in response to their request, offered the CAA the use of one of its aircraft for the next two weeks in order to secure the return of stranded holidaymakers abandoned by the closure of bankrupt airline XL Airways. Ryanair is using one of its spare 737-800 aircraft to help the authorities in the UK and Ireland provide services for outgoing and returning passengers who have booked with the now defunct airline.

Ryanair couldn't have put that plane in EDI?
Instead they
up the travel arrangements of so many passengers by delaying the base start. What management are running this company? Their decisions are crazy!

The opening of a new Reus base will be postponed too.
Separately FR announced it was postponing the location of a seventh aircraft at its Bergamo base in Italy by four weeks.
The deferral of the [Reus base] opening from its original date of the 1st October to a new date of 5th November is as a result of the strike by Boeing employees in Seattle which has resulted in the indefinite delay of the shipment of new aircraft to Ryanair.
Announcing the postponement today, Ryanair’s Deputy Chief Executive, Michael Cawley, said:
“We sincerely regret the postponement of the opening of our Reus base but unfortunately the two new aircraft, which we had reserved for this purpose are now indefinitely delayed due to a strike by Boeing employees. However, we are pleased to confirm that due to the reduction in the number of aircraft flying at our other bases during the winter period, we will be able to secure two further aircraft to facilitate the new opening date of 5th November for these exciting new routes from Reus.
We sincerely apologise to all our passengers for the inconvenience caused by this change in our plans but I hope they understand that it is due to circumstances over which we have no control and we look forward to seeing them on board at our new scheduled opening date of 5th November .”

If FR are able to find an a/c in a couple of hrs to fly XL passengers, for the next TWO WEEKS does anyone really believe that the boeing strike is why FR have delayed the opening of their EDI,Reus bases & delayed the arrival of a seventh a/c in bergamo?

Those BHX figures - does anyone know whether they represent passengers carried or simply the Ryanair/easyJet method of quoting numbers of seats sold
? Considering some of the fares which Ryanair charges, I wouldn't be surprised if its no-show figures are relatively high.

They are CAA figures so they should be numbers through the door
and not seats sold.
anna aero did some early analysis of the bhx fares for July and if the
method they used was accurate then it was not bad reading.
Dinard and Torp were poor and I actually monitored the August
fares on these routes and they were cheap even fairly last minute.
However they said Billund was performing well and passenger wise
it is but whenever I looked fares were cheap.
anna aero also said stated the Polish routes were performing well and
whenever I checked the Spanish fares plus Pisa they were also
quite high. I suppose January will be the acid test once everybody
is broke after New Year!
However for the second full month of based operations the figures
seem reasonable.

In effect its not the amount of seats sold that
counts - its the revenue from all the seats that have
been sold which is the important fact to the
airline.
No-shows do not 'cost' the airline.
Do Ryanair have standby passengers?
If the airline is happy with the early results (On BHX
Ops ) it bears well for the future.
