Anche Ryanair vuole fare del Ridolfi una sua base stabile, con manutenzione e nuovi collegamenti

[cesare.caldi]

Now we have 4 italian airport candidate to Ryanair base: TRN, AHO, TSF e FRL.

Who will win?

[glasgowpik]

TSF has troubles under fog conditions.
Can't see FR base aircrafts there until it's sorted.

I'm surprised for the delay of CRL and MAD announcements.
Usually FR relies on advance bookings..

[airhumberside]

The MAD base was launched at very short notice last year

[glasgowpik]

OK,but what are they waiting for in CRL?

[larshakan]

Knowing the exact date when the new terminal will be finished?!?

Right. Very abruptly. And (to somewhat less extent) MRS alike. Furthermore, there were some "last minute" routes' introductions and route cancellations everywhere as well. A bit too messy, in my opinion. True, every carrier has to keep an eye on the rote development, LF's and yields. Has to be very active in assessing the situation and in reacting to it. But what load factors and yields can you expect if announcing new bases and releasing new routes in the middle of autumn just a month or so before the flights begin? Indeed, you cannot just sit and endulge in self-satisfaction, but while the "active" attitude is usually OK, you must give your customers some time to react, unless you are able to launch an advertising campaign on a great scale. And then, are your potential passengers happy with their flights cancelled and entire routes kissed off just a month or two before the departure?
So, it's good to be positively surprised from time to time, to see the constant development and interesting new announcements, but recently we could observe too many hasty and mismatching moves in this field (where obviously some money were drown as well).

[glasgowpik]

I agree.
The fact is Ryanair themselves announced the CRL expansion with press releases months ago,so technically it isn't even a rumour.
It's strange airport managers haven't told Ryanair yet when the terminal will be opened,if this is the reason for the delay.

2 more 738s added to the airport, which suggests the UK route will be NYO based.

[befree]

cuts

It looks like about 47 extra departures per week. The two extra 737s could bo about 3/5th of that so it must mean frequency cuts on other routes or even a few drop on the quite.

Also, does anybody know why EZY gets more visitors on it's website than FR when FR carries millions more passengers?

Cheers.

[VanBosh]

prob because more people visit the ezj site and dont book cause of the higher fare's. a higher proportion of FR hits book a flight.

just a theory

[MUFC_fan]

True, can book EZY for similar price as BA from LGW and on BA you get free beverages and great connections.

FR obviously have a higher booking rate. How can they not if more people visit the EZY site but nearly 10,000,000 less fly with the airline.

[glasgowpik]

Ok that's Stockholm now beating Prestwick..

Jokes apart,it seems to me that winter A/C deliveries are nearly full now.
Not so sure that there are aircrafts left for both CRL and MAD now for the winter schedule.
