Pescara base
ATI says:
So the new services from this base (6 domestic Italian round-trips per week and 3 round trips to NL) account for the equivalent of ...what? 3 days worth of aircraft time in each week?
For me the subtext in Ryanair announcements these days is all about diminishing returns. Once upon a time every new route was launched on a daily or more-than-daily basis, and every new base had two or three or four more aircraft (with corresponding inflated figures in the press release about investment $ and new jobs created). Now we have a new base which appears to consist of a net gain of maybe 3/7 of an aircraft - if the Pescara aircraft is being used to operate the existing routes to Hahn, Stansted and Girona, then that's activity taken away from those bases. Is this the smallest-ever increase in service associated with a new Ryanair base announcement?
Venice and Cagliari will be served twice-weekly, Eindhoven thrice-weekly, and Milan four times per week.
Ryanair already operates from Pescara to Frankfurt Hahn, London Stansted and Girona outside Barcelona.

Locost no longer locost
Just checked the ryanair website for the regular trip to the continent and found that the fare has doubled since the last trip.Not the airfare,but the charges for debit card booking,checking in baggage and would you believe it,on-line check-in.As a result,Mr oleary has lost a booking for the 4 of us,3 times a year.I have booked the ferry for me,the car and family and reduced the travel costs by more than 50%.I never thought i would desert the locost airlines for the ferry and road journey,but the fare increase has made me look elsewhere.i am sure that thousands of other regular ryanair customers will be taking alternative journeys,or just scrubbing the trips altogether.is this the end of locost european travel for the forseable future?who knows,i for one will be putting a few extra miles on the range rover and still be quids in.

What will happen, as always happens in capitalism, is that the current carriers will put their charges up too much. Then new entrants will come in and undercut them. Eventually FR will be the expensive carrier and someone will be doing to them what MOL has been doing to others for years. How long before a new entrant comes in with no/lower extra charges?

Come on guys, just booked for two weeks in spain for the summer hols. UK to spain in august, £225 for three of us return, all in. This includes priority boarding, checked in bags and on line check in. Same thing last year with easy was £900, and that was October! I work for Ryanair and get good staff deals, but the fares were so reasonable I just booked them on the web site.

That's the thing about Ryanair: the most amazing range of "base fares". For example, I have yet to take trips which cost me 2 pence each way. But there are also fares advertised which probably exceed those of legacy carriers.
March Passenger number
2008 4.5M
2009 4.7M
Increase 5%
Load Factor
2008 77 %
2009 75%
Decrease 2%.
Given they competing against Easter in March 2008 this is a decent result.

They MUST be struggling on pax numbers. my INBOX is clogged with Sales Offers over the past week or so....€4 o/w, €7 o/w and now €12 o/w.
All available to end of June.

racedo you appear to have "accidentally" omitted revenue, which means your chosen stats are open to serious question.
All they and everyone else publish is Passenger numbers and performance against same month last year.
I don't know of any companies who publish monthly revenue numbers.

Looks like they are In the same boat as everyone else then, So will they carry 200,000 more pax in April this year than they did last raceco, Since Easter falls in April this year????? Interesting to see the spin you/they can put on that!

less digits
2 years ago FR told us exactly how many seats it sold. last year it changed so we only had to the nearest 1000. now they just tell us to the nearest 100,000!
With all the offers and seat that are not used the number flying could be a lot less that 4,700,000 in March.

I think you've missed the point befree.. the numbers quoted are passenger numbers i.e. people who've bought a ticket. In terms of capacity, it's not difficult to work out the rough number of seats available. On those load factors it was 5.844m seats last year v 6.267m seats this year. When you're talking millions of seats per month does it matter that they round to the nearest 100,000 instead of 1000? What more would you be able to glean if they told you it was 4,689,123 vs 4,503,222?
