Thank you for you're posts, I think we are going to have to wait and see which airlines fall first. But it won't be FR.
I don't think FR will get BCN, as Iberia is well established there. I think they might start operating a bus company over there - like Sweeden.
Nikolai.
P.S
Iberia is owned by the Spanish Goverment.

Tuifly fly from Memmingen, but mainly to German and Italian destinations so Ryanair is not taking them on directly. The new Memmingen - Dublin route exposes O'Leary's 'principled' stand against the Irish tourist tax as pure hogwash.
Yesterdays evening news on TV3, the main catalan station, led with a story about Ryanair being in negotiation with El Prat about opening a base there. Anyone heard anything about this?
Montilla es felicita perquè Ryanair vulgui establir una base permanent a l'aeroport del Prat
Could be an example of Ryan choosing their moment to pressure the airport on costs, new terminal about to open and all.

I'm only reposting what TripleRotor who is Catalonia posted. They apparently also sent a reporter to Dublin where MOL stated that any new flights would not impact on Girona or Reus.
Reading the press releases and trade media its clear that FR will be in the primary airports maybe not with the low costs enjoyed elsewhere but thats just a tinkering of business model. They don't have mega low costs everywhere.

Just a though. Ryanair de-camping (albeit) slowly from DUB and Ireland in general could be a pre-curser to the next take over of Aer Lingus.
The Irish goverment/EU arguement that Ryanair would be a monopoly airline in Ireland if they purchase Aer Lingus would be rather weak when/if Aer Lingus themselves have become the monopoly airline.
A third take over attempt, if successful, would then only require the disposal of the A320s with B737s in Aer Lingus colours. (For a time?) And the problems of duplication over routes would have been sorted pre-take over.

They made no finding because Ryanair withdrew the bid.
Thus, the takeover wasn't blocked by the EU. It was blocked by shareholders refusing to sell. That won't be changing.
If the EU want more competition at Dublin they can order Aer Lingus to allow in competition - well, they're welcome to come!
Nice theory then my friend, but it doesn't actually stand up.

Ask yourselves why MOL has been so tenacious in his efforts to acquire control of Aer Lingus ( my emphasis).
Think.
10 out of 10 for the most original, considered and correct answer.

Big drops in "low cost"
looking at the CAA data for Feb and I seem many so called low cost airports markely down even after allowing for snow and a day less. Other airlines are not going under and no void is opening up for FR to fill. Ryanair is also not going to get serious business traffic if it talks of the pay to go to the loo. No other EU will be avoided by so many.

Just because you want to believe it doesn't make it so.
100 km west of Munich, FR should rename Weeze to Düsseldorf - North West

The 50,000 that FR did from BHX will have been robbed from east mids, Coventry and other airlines at BHX. The cake is getting smaller and FR needs 15-20% growth per year. FR needed aliatila & Air Berlin to go under.
FR always reports seats sold instead of pax flown. It may turn out that passenger numbers are now in decline in many bases. New bases are needed just to make up the cut routes from old bases.
I suspect the 10 euro airport tax will go EU wide within 2 years. This would create a level tax across the EU.

Once Ryanair have completely done away with airport check-in for evermore what will be the cut off deadline for passengers with hold baggage to present themselves at the bag drop desk? I can't see any info about this anywhere.
I wonder if it will be the same as the current 40 minutes for airport check-in? Or maybe they haven't decided yet? Or maybe they haven't even given it a thought?

according to the frequently asked questions on their website bags must be dropped (with all fees paid) at least 40 mins before departure, there is no indication this will change once check in desks are no more.

Thanks scrapy
Yes but I take it that this relates to the scenario of AIRPORT CHECK-IN which will from October no longer be available. So does anyone know for certain what the deadline for bag drop off will be from October after the abolition of airport check-in?
On looking at the Q & A on the website (and let's not ignore that both the Q's and the A's are set by FR) it is interesting to see that one is allowed to bring a parachute on board. I wonder whether anyone on here has done this?

I don't think bag-drop desks will disappear, as this brings in a lot of money for FR. £28.50 for one to take a bag. BA, have done the check-in online, bag drop procedure for a long time now; used that service myself. It saves time!
The web-check in charge, has got to be free with no bags; otherwise how is this optional?
I was on a FR flight to Spain on Boxing Day, and there was around 6-8 sky divers. And they were travelling in all their gear, with the parachute on their back! Must be so that they can say that shoot has been with them for the whole journey; no room for tampering or damages. That's my best geuss logically!
Also, has anyone noticed that on a FR flight a queue starts to form at the stairs as the crew check boarding cards; again. Once at check-in, security, gate, and at the stairs?
It was awful standing there in the rain whilst they did that stupid check.
