LPL was doing ok, wasn't it? They had 66% LF in April so that is alright, would have been good during the summer with that frequency (4/7) perhaps only 3/7 in winter. http://hahn-infos.de/forum/showthread.php?t=8716
I have seen that also TKU have gotten terminal like the one in TMP, any hints on FR going there?

The point is FR are well known for landing you about 70 miles from your destination and telling you that you are where you want to be, or thought you were going to be. They are the last to be making this point to anyone.

True, but not in Belfast. Belfast is probably one the rare city where you land closer to the city centre with Ryanair than if you take EI or EZY.
So, I agree that's a bit ironical, but for once they have the advantage on EI and EZY, they won't miss the opportunity!

And actually, they were right to state that because we are now evoking it so maybee few people learnt that BHD is closer than BFS...
Well done Ryanair...

I understand your point that what they are ACTUALLY advertising is that BHD is closer than BFS which is true, but they have some nerve to take this line of attack.
As I say, EZY could pull them apart with this advertisement!
Infact, last time I was in GRO after my FR flight from BLK, I saw an EZY advertisement in the bus depot outside which said 'Fly to Barcelona. Yes. Barcelona.' Which I thought was I wonderful pitch! Don't know if they do this at other FR airports but it is quite a strong campaign which I am surprised GRO management allowed (unless the advertisment boards are independantly owned).

It seems the Big Boy wants to conquer mostly the territory of the British Islands thus leaving the rest of European continent to others. I mean does he really need FR bases at every British airport (and more congestion, more competition, lower yields)? Yeah, it's certainly good for the passengers, but maybe more global (or pan-European) thinking could bring even better profits for his troops... sorry, for his airline.

With the wonders of satellite TV I watched the Midlands local news.
They are saying that the deal announced today took just 10 days to complete with the based BHX aircraft originally tagged for a Scottish airport (EDI?).

The airline's spokesman Peter Sherrard said the airport had snatched the deal from "under the nose" of another UK airport.

With Ryanair moving into birmingham do you think there is a possibility that they will say byebye for now to the east midlands base and not say much more about it, by that i meen adding new routes, more planes etc... or can we expect them to keep on expanding until they come huge....?

OliWW - my understanding is that FR looked at BHX as their preference over EMA for a Midlands base but did not get the deal they wanted from BHX so pulled their flights except Dublin and made it very public that they had fallen out with BHX over charges. However I have always believed there is enough demand for FR flights from both EMA and BHX it seems that it has just taken a very long time to get a deal at BHX that suits both parties. I doubt FR will pull out of EMA though, just look at the routes announced from BHX there is very little overlap with those from EMA, I should imagine thats the way it will stay. Interestingly, FR at BHX have also shied away from going head to head with either Baby or Flybe (except Marseilles) perhaps thats part of the deal with BHX therefore keeping everyone happy.
