Has the press conference in Charleroi happened yet?

Cheers
SAM-EMA

[Charlie Roy]

Yes the Charleroi press conference was Thursday to announce Charleroi - Pau.

Earlier this week the airport finally announced the completion date for the much needed new terminal for mid-January 2008. So now that the date is known, hopefully Ryanair can quickly proceed with their expansion plans.

[dumdumbrain]

Now thats a shame I was hoping for a CRL-EMA, bmi's price is way over the top and often late.

Ryanair's next base

• Will the next base definitely be Valencia?
• If so, any info on when will it be announced?
• When will it start operating?
• What new routes could we expect for Valencia? For what destinations have slots been requested?

You see, I wish to book a flight from Ireland to Valencia for during the Christmas holidays. My only option at the moment is Dublin - Valencia. However if a Valencia base announcement is imminent, then possibly they'll introduce Shannon (or ideally Cork but I'm not holding my breath). ...?

[ryan2000]

I certainly wouldn't hold my breath for Cork Valencia given Ryanair's attitude towards new Cork routes.

Having said that 10 flights a day from Cork isn't bad for an airline that keeps complaining about the charges there.

[Tom the Tenor]

Whatever about the likelihood of PIK and LBA it beats me why FR will not try something like another relatively short flight from Charleroi to Cork. That route would go down well with you, Charie Roy? However, if it was a choice between CRL or Valencia I would go with Spain everytime! Cant see VLC happening any time soon though from either Cork or Shannon. Oh, well. Cant let these things get one down.

News of a Ryanair press conference has been made public.

Its due to be held in Liverpool mid-morning to announce 'exciting new routes' from its large Liverpool base.

[airbourne]

I was having a thought on the Aer lingues thread and someone commented about the idea of FR going into BHD as base. But in reality could you get a 738 on the ground there? What seat restrictions would you need for that.

But it got me thinking about the common FR fleet make up of as you know 738s. Now if there are airports with smaller runways or lower yield flights why didnt FR look at something like the 736/737. Or is it just maximum seats per a/c? What is the seat cost of a 738 v 736?

BHD

Airbourne,

I guess similar seat restrictions to that of LDY will apply. Bit of a joke capping seat numbers anyway.

[Stewart28]

LDY

Will Ryanair leave LDY after they announced flights to BHD, would hate to see them leave LDY

[honest man]

Excellent new routes from PIK and about time too,BHD should be good despite the competition and Budapest has been long overdue i expected WIZZ to jump in there

[Skipness One Echo]

Ahhhh!! An easyJet Ryanair war on Glasgow - Belfast!! That should be fun!

[Powerjet1]

Have all the routes announced today for EMA, LPL etc, been accommodated by existing based aircraft, or are additional, new airframes involved ?.

[aidoair]

Look like they are to be accomodated by existing aircraft or that looks the case for EMA at least and most likely at other bases with current routes either discontinuing or ending for the summer season.

[chrism20]

PIK/BHD in the 738 will be one mighty quick journey.

Am surprised a BHD/SNN wasn't announced

[OliWW]

With East Midlands I can imagen Belfast being a popular flight as it is with bmibaby anyway, also im surprised that Salzburg and Lyon Grenoble are only 1x Week compared to last year!!

Im surprised no flights to cork have been announced either, bmibaby used to have a popular demand on the EMA - Cork routes, will ryanair bring this back do you think?

Only Time will Tell =]

[SAM-EMA]

Well, FR are planning major expansion from EMA with upto 4 new a/c arriving, and I would assume that Cork would be in with the other new routes, as and when they come. We are still awaiting the announcement, but after yesterdays new routes, we might have to wait a little longer.

beauvais

does any one have know if fr are to start beauvais - lgw/stn? they are listed as available routes on their website. with eurostar changing terminal it'd seem that fr were trying to jump ahead of ezy offering services from other london airports.
