Ryanair eyes Copenhagen
"We are talking to Copenhagen about the possibility of opening with 10 routes. We could easily get up to 10 million passengers in two or three years,"
Might well happen..... but the 'low-cost terminal' SWIFT at CPH is not due to open until summer 2010. Don't get too excited yet !

Yeah. MOL has given an interview to the Danish press. Some of his claims were:
- nobody believes Norwegian Airlines will exist five years from now
- SAS will be melted into LH and thus CPH's significance will deteriorate
- the only long-term airline in Kastrup will be... Ryanair (not yet started flying there, though)

davidjohnson6 (might not have to wait) !
Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’ Leary has thrown down the gauntlet to SAS and said the Irish airline aims to carry more passengers from Copenhagen than the Scandinavian airline.
Ryanair has already been linked with the new low-cost terminal CPH Swift, currently under construction at Copenhagen Airport and O’Leary said that if the airport could provide a 25-minute turnaround, among other guarantees, then Ryanair will begin flying from the Danish capital this summer.
‘If we get it [the guarantees] we could open this summer. But the decision rests with Copenhagen Airports and not us,’ O’Leary told Jyllands-Posten newspaper.

daz - you have a point, it is possible that FR may start up this summer.
However, with Cimber Sterling, Norwegian and Transavia as LCCs already with bases at CPH, I'm not convinced there is really sufficient local demand for 4 locally-based LCCs, all paying hefty fees until at least 2010. Oh yeah, and there's a rather large network airline called SAS with a big hub as well.
Something somewhere has to give....

MOL Uk Tour.
MOL Was Seen at EMA last night and the RYR flight he was on came in from Liverpool. The aircraft was supposed to leave EMA for BHX But stayed the night at EMA due snow at BHX. So he might have been visiting BHX Aswell.

I passed through Dublin today and noticed a wide mix of registration batches in Ryanairs fleet, can anyone explain what rule of thumb is being used for disposal of the older jets.
Also is the unique minimal interior limiting the second hand value of these aircraft ?

Minimalist interior
As most things are moulded in plastic, I assume the (very garish) colour scheme can't change, but what else is different? Legroom seemed normal, can't think of a problem with fold-down tray. It's about a year since I flew FR (and I've never had a problem) so I can't remember if they had that netting to hold in-flight mags and vomit bags or a footstool bar.

No seat recline, no table, yellow plastic all over the place, very tight pitch.
Yes fine for cheap cheerful short trips, thats what we expect for the price we pay.
But unless they are passed onto similar operations, surely they are limiting the number of buyers.

MAN777 not sure why you think it would limit it to other buyers as all the interiors would be stripped out anyway for the receiving airlines decor. Its not like a car that once you buy it thats it. Everything inside can be pulled out and put back in, indeed it has to be as how else would you get to some of the wiring etc.

That is my point. Changing interiors must cost a fortune, therefore your customers must fall into 2 groups, those that have money to refit and those that just put up with what they get.
Obviously i am no expert, that is why i ask the questions.
So, who are the new operators of ex Ryanair aircraft ?

All airlines have individual interiors, I don't think there would be one airline out there that would have the same interior as another so the cost is small compared to buying a new aircraft in small batches, add in the fact that in most cases the companies already have the stock in the form of spares then overall its much cheaper. I would suggest to you that if you cant afford an interior they shouldn't be buying a 25 millions euro aircraft!!
Most of the airlines that have been buying the ex RYR are South American ones, several went to Varig etc. There would be a database on the net if you are that interested.

How on earth can Ryanair justify £4 for a very small can of lager ??
Of course you fly a full service airline pay £200 more and have a 'free' larger.

Why on Earth would anyone buy anything onboard? Bags of industrial grade alcohol, 'luxury' dehydrated tea and microwaved bits of old pizza, not to mention Pish Beer.
