They had not missed the flight but were 2 minutes late at checkin. It seems this was due to a 5 hour delay on the ryanair flight into london. Ryanair will count them as having flown as far as pax stats go but will make extra profit by pocketing the tax that it collected but will not have to pass on to HMC&R.
Ryanair may be legal in what it does but not wise. I am sure than 1000s who read the story in the irish press will avoid ryanair where possible.

And what is going to happen in Italy? From November, the capacity at Ciampino Airport will be reduced by 30 percent. Much of Ryanair traffic (if not all) will be lost.
"This is nothing more than the latest illegal attempt by ENAC and the Italian government to limit the growth of low-cost carriers to protect Alitalia," Michael O'Leary told a news conference today and... filed a lawsuit against Italy's aviation authority for cutting traffic. "Ryanair would not want Alitalia even for free" - added MOL.

According to luchtvaartnieuws.nl (sorry, dutch only) a Ryanair spokesman said that they will anounce new routes to Eindhoven and Maastricht today. He also said that the expansion in Maastricht will be bigger then the one in Eindhoven. So I suspect that they will (indeed) announce their Valencia base tomorrow, including a daily flight to Eindhoven. As of yet I do not have a clue what the new routes to Maastricht might be. Will be interesting to see!

It's almost certain that Ryanair will annouce two new bases today: VLC and ALC. Probably MST will be one of the destinations served out of ALC and EIN one of the new destinations served out of VLC.

ALC confirmed as new base!
11 new routes:
Baden
Basel
Billund
Bournemouth
Brussels
Doncaster
East Midlands
Gotenburg
Maastrict
Milan
Paris
DUB - Vitoria and STN - Vitoria cancelled.
MOL will probably pop on to Valencia next to announce the second base.
Interestingly, in the release they said they will deploy 2 737's, they usually say new 737's. I wonder are these coming from Stansted?

MJV will continue, over the last few years Ryanair has been flying to it, it has picked up many second home owners in the Murcia area. Enough pax to go round for both ALC and MJV. At EMA MJV is one of most popular routes, along with DUB, infact most the routes from EMA are doing very well and most better than expected.
Does anyone know the routes? I think it is fair to say with how popular Alicante is with ex-pats n 2nd home owners the base will have very high loads even in the winter, if these flights are to Germany, and the UK.
Well done Ryanair at opening a base at a major airport, all a good sign and im sure it will be a strong performing base.

p.s. cheers for the routes, im sure it will do very very from EMA, but it means ALC now has FR (MJV aswell), EZY and WW from EMA...... Who will carry the most and who will drop the route if any...... Come on bring on the fight

"Does anyone know whats happening with ryanair's stn-pmi flights. Flights for next summer are not on sale yet?"
Don't panic: no FR flights are yet on sale for the summer period (i.e. beyond the end of March 2008). And it'll be a few months until they are.

Does FR have spare capacity at Madrid?
Hi guyz! ... & guls
Does anyone know whether Ryanair has any spare capacity left at Madrid to operate additional rotations from this base?
And what are the likely new destinations to be operated by FR from MAD in the near future?
Thanks a million,
Knight

The rumour earlier on was LPL, this would be head to head with EZY whose loads have been near capacity for a long time. Maybe it would serve EZY right if for not increasing capacity if someone else came in and shared the spoils!

On the wikipedia website, it says that Ryanair are to launch Beauvais-Gatwick flights, starting 2007.
Is this true?
