I would not envisage Luton getting that route, if Ryanair is going to open the London route; it would be from Stansted. That's if Ryanair don't already do a Stansted - Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Tenerife route!

Ryanair Press Conference in Tenerife 29/7
Michael Cawley and a senior Ryanair official from Madrid have a press conference tomorrow announced in Tenerife at 9am. The only info I have is that "they intend to announce important news about their operations in The Canary Islands"
There has been an extensive campaign for Ryanair to return to Fuerteventura after a row with the local authorities. Does anybody have any info on this press conference

It seem a fair performance from Ryanair, i suspect most of LoCo's will have had a good year having heaped on bag charges and increased credit/debit charges this past year to cover high fuel costs which are have what they were this time last year.
Bag allowances
Ryanair 15kg
Easyjet 20kg
Baby 18kg
Jet2 17kg
BA 23KG
Not sure about the other's but the extra 8kg you get with BA would cost a £120.00 with Ryanair
BA will allow two items of hand luggage, with Ryanair it one and any extra is £30.00 although the policing is very hit and miss, are you feeling lucky today punk?
Ryanair on many routes are fast becoming the only show in town other than med routes or turkey/Egypt (for now) i suspect that if the job market place for pilots remains poor then further cut in T&C's are on the cards and F/o's will get next to nothing as happens in many far east markets.
What commision does Visa Electron charge % for transactions to the card holder, must be a deal here between Ryanair n Visa, i know you need to have a credit balance and no interest is paid to the card holder?
Still well done Ryanair in showing that you can turn a profit in this market place, just a shame about the Aer Lingus stake the cash balance would be about 3 billion or BA pension deficit !!

It is not a FACT in your second paragraph to say that they will have to
fly 'many more' passengers - its just your interpretation - in effect
they can try and improve yield from the same number of passengers.

The reason I know Ryanair have a problem with wheelchair users is my colleague worked all summer on the firm that runs wheelchairs to the aircraft and he was far from complimentary about Ryanair.
I reiterate my point that part of the reason that MOL is taking aircraft out of the UK is that he has hacked off so many people who will never fly 'em again. He has to put them into new markets where people haven't been screwed over by Ryanair TLC just yet. That's my opinion and I don't feel the need to shout FACT in big letters with it....

Ryanair claim to make 118m profit in Q1
Q2 has always been very good for them
Now they expect Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4 profits to be at the low end of 200m-300m assuming yeilds and load factors.
That would point to around 100m euros profits for the last 3 quarters of the year. They will already have taken in the cash for most of the peak summer flights so the cash will now be at its peak for the year. Q3 & Q4 could both be loss making but not that big. What should scare the stockmarket is what happends next year. They may have 15% more capacity again and have to cut another 15% of fares to fill the planes. Income could be flat but they need to buy 15% more fuel.

Jet2's baggage limit is 22kg. Ryanair's restrictive and expensive baggage policy might be a handicap if it wants to fly more to the Canaries this winter as people tend to want to stay for a week or more.

Once again it is necessary to warn a few people that they do NOT have the right to use PPRuNe to lambast, abuse or use invective of any kind to further their own weird ambitions to prove, or try to prove, that they are better than anyone else in stating what is news, good news or bad news.
Smart arses, know-it-all's and winder upers are equally useless so cool it.
Stay on topic or the thread dies. Indeed, any more of the above and we will close the thread for a few days - to help concentrate the minds.

Ryanair are dropping the Manchester to Shannon service from the end of October and transferring the frequencies to Liverpool to make the Liverpool to Shannon service a Daily operation once again.

Bags at Ryanair are only £20? Unless only one passenger is having the bags on his booking/only one passenger flying who wants more than one bag. Easyjet charge £18? And to fly BA, fair enough they give a generous baggage allowance, but the fare would be considerably higher. Aer Lingus is £15 for 20 kilos -which undercuts everyone; and the fares are cheaper with Aer Lingus.
Why have Ryanair written off the Aer Lingus stake? They still have it - and Aer Lingus haven't disappeared? What exactly have they done and what does it mean (please forgive that I don't understand what they have done)
My view, I always use Ryanair as they do offer the best value for money, I personally, have never (in many, many years) had a bad expereience - so I will keep using them. I can't speak for everyone, but in all of my flights - 189 people have left the 737 at the end satisfied.
I think regarding MOL moving the planes - either it is cheaper to offer the route from the other airport, rather than Dublin or Stansted (as most new bases or destinations always fly to Dublin or Stansted) or he just is playing his card against the goverments regarding the taxes?
Just to say, I want to be cabin crew - and the only airlines which are accepting new recruits are Ryanair and Easyjet, in fact Easyjet only is recruiting for Gatwick. So in the very close future, unless other airlines open up, I will be appying for Ryanair!

here has been an extensive campaign for Ryanair to return to Fuerteventura after a row with the local authorities.
This is being discussed already in the Ryanair thread.
But to answer your question, there seems to be no hope for Fuerteventura
The Ryanair route map is already showing 44 new routes to the Canary islands.
- 18 new routes from Gran Canaria [not a current Ryanair destination]
- 17 new new routes from Lanzarote [not a current Ryanair destination]
- 9 new routes from Tenerife South [already has 8 Ryanair routes]
But if it's the Dublin to Fuerteventura route you're interested in, then I suppose you know Aer Lingus will operate this route next winter once weekly on Saturday afternoons.

To answer your query - it is an aspiration surely of all
service providers in any sphere to increase yield.
Perhaps the U.K. market is just one of their European
targets and not the main cash-cow now.
Thankyou for your eulogy but I am not worthy.

The proposed Canary Islands routes make a lot of sense. The winter will throw up a lot of capacity on Ryanair's 'thin' routes, and they need to redeploy aircraft. Where better than a popular, year-round resort area where the likes of Monarch Scheduled are charging decent prices?
...and if they become bases those aircraft operating to the UK are 'removed' from the UK bases!!

Finally a bit more thought put into route developement. These routes will push up yields this winter.
Fingers crossed they announce at least TFS as a base, our STN aircraft have to go somewhere!
Rumours around suggest Greece and Cyprus are next on the cards for FR. This makes total sense, as no real LCC presence in Greece and a good market there with a weak national carrier.
Gone are the days where short sectors were the way forward for FR, remember FR offer the same as a lot of charter airlines in terms of capacity, it 189 seats. Therefore good yields on longer routes not only from fares but ancillary rev.
