It is actually
I believe there is to be a press conference in Porto.
Of course, this might only be one of the new routes from the new base, rather than the base itself.

You are generally spot on when you post.

The market is there else Ryanair wouldn't exist.
I for one are happy that there now is a direct link from my regional airport EIN to OPO. There are also people living near regional airports!
Actually in this case quite a lot of people live closer to EIN then another airport with direct service to OPO. And they will also be happy that they have a cheaper option then TAP.

ASFKAP,
You bet we are very happy in Oporto, indeed almost dancing in the streets.
We have been expecting today's announcement. Itīs very important for a small country like Portugal. It's the very first time that a foreign aviation company settled operations here.
I'm certain the base will perform quite well.
By the way, did you know that over 1 million portuguese people live in France? Most of them of northern Portugal? And yes, thousands in the Lyon/St. Etienne/Clermont-Ferrand area.
Guess what, half a million in Switzerland too.
Oh, almost forgot, in Holland (where i lived for over a year) we are a considerable community without cheap connections to Porto, only expensive TAP.
Eindhoven is just 100 km away from Nordrhein-Westfalen "heart" the "Land" with the major portuguese community in Germany, again, thousands.
Did i gave you another perpective? I hope so...

With the new base at OPO MAD (14/7), BVA (now 14/7, was 7/7 with W-pattern by a PIK based a/c), GRO (3/7 + 9/7 ex GRO) and CRL (4/7) are operated by the OPO based a/c.
Question: PIK going down to 4 a/c and new routes/additional frequencies out of MAD

Yeap,
We are a massive presence in Massachussets and New Jersey.
People from Porto, are Portuenses, tripeiros (not Tripieras, as you wrote) is a negative way as the southern people, mainly in Lisbon, refer to us.
When french napoleonic invasions took place in the 19th century, as the population was surrounded in the city walls, the portuenses were forced to eat animal guts/intestines to survive, while the british army was in their way to help us, thatīs why.
Ryanair is a presence in Porto Airport since 2004, and is one of the several low cost airlines operating here, contribuing for a exponential growing for the last 4 years. From 3 millions to over 4,5 millions.
Their arrival, did not kick away traditional high quality carriers, because, unfortunately, we don't have them, except Lufthansa, Iberia (franchised Air Nostrum) and of course national TAP. I suppose they think that there is no enough market. Wrong! Northern Portugal has almost 4 millions habitants, and so close to the spanish province of Galicia with another 3 millions more. They are an important part of our global traffic (mainly in the intercontinental flights to Brasil, Venezuela and USA).
Recently BA announced a route from LGW but they changed their plans. London is one of OPO most importants market's, and Easyjet took the chance, and will start operating it.
TAP did not pulled out a single route also served by any LC, so there is a

Oporto & BHX
rafinha130
Hopefully the missing slot will be BHX!
The BHX based service on Monday & Friday which was on sale for next winter is no longer bookable.
As it was one of BHX's best services in terms of load factor (yes we all know it is down to yields blah blah blah), it would be surprising if this
service stopped.
BHX-NYO and BHX-BLQ are also not bookable at present this winter and they were in the first release.
In fact BHX this winter now only needs three based aircraft most days!
