Rumours about Mallorca, Santander and Malaga.

El Prat is a false rumour.

(Panto Voice) Oh no it's not!

I always reckoned the Malaga rumours were wishful thinking by our wishful contingent of Spanish crew.

According to the Brabants Dagblad, a local newspaper, Anja Seugling from Ryanair told them that: They will intensify negotiations with Eindhoven Airport in the short term and that Eindhoven is one of the best performing airports in the Ryanair route network.
She also said that any new routes for the upcoming summer season are unlikely as the summer schedule is more or less finished, but that Ryanair is still expanding in Italy and Spain and that this expansion could possibly result in new destination(s) for Eindhoven.

This all has to do with the fact that the Dutch government will (finally) abolish the "ecotax" per July the first.

Belongs in Terms of Endearment

But to answer the question

Yes it is legal for any company to take on contract staff, size of company doesn't matter as HM Govt emply more contract staff than Ryanair and Easyjet have total employees including contract.

FR are ok - planes are nice

God i hate Brookfield - so dodgy.My bank sends me a statement everytime funds are lodged in by Brookfield and the address from Brookfield is somewhere in Gibraltar

The contract wording is very vague so im sure FR legal team are doing everything by the book

Brookfield is FR in disguise - run by FR heads

Some interesting facts for the armchair CEO's

Early summer capacity down by 4.8% in Europe; Norwegian in pole position for growth | anna.aero

Take a look at the capacity changes around Europe by airline.

Ryanair, Ezy and Flybe all likely to end 2009 larger and stronger.

A lot of other carriers shrinking fast!

Is Fr going to do Lgw - Rome? There is an arrival on ceefax, FR1007 from Rome at 20.20. I assume that this flight is not operating, just wondering if someone has put the info in there too soon.

3% growth

Early summer capacity down by 4.8% in Europe; Norwegian in pole position for growth | anna.aero

Even Ryanair is showing just 3% capacity growth at the start of the summer season. However, the number of routes on offer has increased by 16% resulting in a reduction in average frequency on each route from 6.3 to 5.6 weekly flights.
The report does not explain what FR are going to do with the planes if it only needs 3% more.

I've noticed this new appointment:
Ryanair has appointed Ken O’Toole as director of new route development.

He will be responsible for the continued expansion and management of the Ryanair route network, the allocation of aircraft fleet, commercial relationships with airports and the airline's continuing drive to reduce airport costs.

A chartered accountant, Ken joined Ryanair in 2006 as yield manager and was responsible for the revenue management of the Ryanair route network.

Since 2008 he held the position of head of scheduled revenue with specific responsibility for the Scandinavian, German and Dutch markets.
Let's just hope he'll have a concise and clear vision of the future development (by means of a smart 'intelligence' and fruitful research resulting in some good non-nonsense routes); I don't know the guy, however. Chartered accountant...

route development

An accountant as a development visionary? Mmm, not sure. But... I hope he would be able to see more clearly the right directions, the most profitable routes.

I've just calculated the mean price of flights from Tampere to Bergamo in June. 17 flights (once-daily on Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun). Do you know what the mean price of a return flight is? Without luggages, without the priority boarding, without the airport check-in fee, no insurance, nothing. Okay, it is as much as... 214 euros!!! In June! Despite such kind of prices, the LF's are being excellent across the board. Yet no frequency adjustments, no similar routes were put into effect for so long time.

So, I just would like the new route development director to be not as blind as his predecessor has been, it would mean very much.

a conservative accountant doing route dev at Ryanair?

almost an oxymoron.

perhaps FR have decided enough is enough on the crazy route matches.

But don't knock the old Benny Berger style - crazy worked for Ryanair.

A sudden conservative approach may prove fatal.

Oxymoron?! Accountant does not equal conservative. Get a grip. It just equips him with some of the skills needed to do the job. Unless you know him personally and can vouch for his personality don't bother with pointless stereotypes.

Unless I am mistaken, another " accountant" has featured rather heavily in the running of Ryanair for a very long time. Or did you forget "his" previous profession ?
