Thanks, The question was only submitted after I had heard a rumour that Ryanair only really considered runnways over 2200m, Easyjet 2000m and Flybee 1800m, that was obviously wrong.

Big surprise: a Ryanair base at Turin (TRN)?
Italian press report about a possible new Ryanair base at Turin (TRN).
Today Ryanair Top Managers Michael Cawley and Bernard Berger are in Turin to meet TRN managers and make a possible deal.
TRN after the Winter Olimpic Games of 2006 have a new airport terminal that is actually under utilized with a lot of free space, also the is a large catchment area: Turin city have almost 1 milion people and Piemont region about 4 milion...
TRN in winter is also a popular ski destination near Italian Alps resort like Aosta Valley...
So the next Ryanair Italian base will not be AHO or TSF as predicted but a big surprise like TRN?
In other news Ryanair have expressed interest to start flight into Crotone (CRV) a small airport in south of Italy (Calabria region)

Anybody get any info on the big announcement inn SNN tomorrow. Allegedly MOL is travelling down. I suspect it is one of two things. I suspect he will try to squeeze GWY and RE even further by adding frequency on existing routes that compete and adding others that are operated out of GWY, with some more European and eastern european. Less likely is that he will announce a transatlantic loco venture.

They will probably also be trying to hurt Aer Lingus and others at Cork, so they may add routes such as Berlin, Budapest, Tenerife or even Prague which operate from Cork but not Shannon to try to drive the Cork carriers off those routes
The following routes would not surprise me: Leeds Bradford, Newcastle, Riga, Kaunas, Gdansk, Poznan, Warsaw, Katowice, Bratislava, Budapest, Pisa, Tenerife.

Think Dublin - Shannon is on the cards given this quote on their website
However if you wish to be rerouted using a Ryanair hub and then take another Ryanair flight to your final desination e.g. Seville to Dublin and then Dublin to Shannon you will need to go to the airport ticket desk or call the Ryanair Direct call centre were they will be able to add an additional flight at no charge.

even more 738s
Ryanair today (31st May) announced the purchase of 27 more Boeing 737-800s valued at $1.9bn. This brings Ryanair’s total firm orders for B737-800s to 308 and total fleet size (including planned disposals) to 262 by 2012.
Ryanair operates one of the youngest and most fuel efficient fleets of any major airline (137 Boeing 737-800s) with an average aircraft age of just 2.5 years. All of these new aircraft will be fitted with Boeing blended winglets which will further reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions.

Ryanair New BHX route????
Taken from Birmingham Post Website today; icbirmingham.co.uk
EU to clip Ryanair's wingsMay 31 2007
The European Commission, in a highly unusual move, is expected to reject Ryanair's proposed purchase of rival Irish airline Aer Lingus, sources familiar with the situation said yesterday.
The prohibition of Ryanair's unsolicited offer, originally valued at 1.48 billion euros (£1 billion), will be only the 20th in more than 3,000 cases reviewed by the European Union's executive arm since 1990, and the first since 2004.
The move comes as today Ryanair is expected to announce the start of a new domestic route from Birmingham International Airport - where it virtually abandoned services in favour of East Midlands Airport some years ago in a row over charges.
Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary has said he would challenge the Commission in court if the deal was turned down. The decision runs to more than 300 pages in an effort to deal with issues that may end up in legal wrangling.
Commission competition spokesman Jonathan Todd declined to comment on the investigation until a final decision is taken.
Any ideas of which route and why BHX now after uping sticks to EMA? My bets on PIK. Could it be that EI are considering BHX as their UK base hence this move by FR????

RYANAIR LAUNCHES 8 NEW ROUTES FROM SHANNON
BIRMINGHAM, DUBLIN, FUERTEVENTURA, KAUNAS, LEEDS, LUTON, RIGA & TENERIFE
Ryanair today (Thursday, 31st May 2007) announced eight new routes from its Shannon base to Birmingham, Dublin, Fuerteventura (Canaries), Kaunas, Luton, Leeds, Riga and Tenerife, which will start in November. From November, Ryanair will also increase the frequency of its Edinburgh (to daily) and Manchester (to 6 weekly) services. This expansion includes Ryanair’s first domestic route from Shannon to Dublin and brings the number of destinations offered from the airport to 31.
Announcing these new routes, Ryanair’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, said:
“With Ryanair’s latest expansion at Shannon, 1.7m passengers annually will enjoy Ireland’s lowest fares guaranteed. This will deliver a visitor spend of €250m and support 1,700 jobs in the West. In the space of just 2 years, Ryanair has delivered dramatic tourism and economic growth for Shannon and the West as promised.
“Shannon is now accessible from Galway in just over 1 hour thanks to the new Ennis by-pass, making Ryanair’s 31 low fare routes at Shannon the low fare reference point for the whole of the West of Ireland. We look forward to delivering significant economic benefits for Galway and Connemara with these additional passenger numbers.
“Our new, twice daily commuter route to Dublin will allow people from the West to fly day returns from Shannon and avoid the M50 traffic chaos for less than the price of half a tank of petrol.
“To celebrate these 8 new routes, we have slashed €20 off all return flights and we urge passengers to book these lowest fares today, as these bargains will sell out quickly”.
In welcoming these new routes, Martin Moroney, Director, Shannon Airport, said:
“We are delighted to see further expansion of Ryanair’s operations, particularly the inclusion of Dublin in its route network, offering a daily return service. Galway is an important part of our catchment area for both inbound and outbound traffic, and we look forward to working with the tourism and business sector in harnessing support for these new services. Ryanair now carries over 50% of the terminal passenger traffic at Shannon airport and we look forward to working with them in the future as we expand our business”.
Niall Gibbons, Director, Corporate Services, Tourism Ireland added:
“Tourism Ireland, the organisation responsible for marketing the island of Ireland overseas, has warmly welcomed the announcement of the expansion of Ryanair services from Britain and Mainland Europe into Shannon Airport. Both markets were key drivers behind the record visitor numbers to Ireland last year so it augurs well for the season ahead. This expansion of services will make it even easier for visitors from these important markets to explore the many attractions on offer in the Shannon region”.

Dublin Nov 2 x Daily

The other side
If you take the 308 planes they have on order from the 262 they will operate you get 46 that have sold or will be sold. Does anyone know who is buying them and if they are worth much after 6 years at Ryanair? It is hard to see where they could park all the 262 planes with many of the big bases being so full.
it would also be intersting to know the real price they are paying for each 737 as they are listed at $70m each.
