Air Stairs
Thought that all 737 had front airstairs unless they were requested not to be fitted.
The 737 100 series had them at the front and under the fusalage at the rear ala 1/11, or at least LH ones did.
Though Ryanair would save some weight by not having them unless a counter weight would need to be fitted like what happened with the 510 series BA 1/11.

Re: Electronic Stairs
Did easyJet not previously have the electric steps but got rid of them because they weighed around 600kg? And without the weight they saved the fuel...

Arad Airport
From 31st July 2008 Ryanair will stop flying to Arad Airport in Romania.
http://www.forbes.com/afxnewslimited...fx5133411.html
Ryanair Holdings Plc. said all the flights to Romania's Arad airport have been cancelled effective July 31, due to the failure of the County Council and its president, Iosif Matula to sign and honour its agreement with Ryanair.

Such a route would be based on VFR traffic

Freight Doggy Dog - I completely agree with you, I was laying it down for those who continue to bad mouth Ryanair when what they are doing is still making them money when others are failing.

Are the three new polish routes from Shannon a result of other routes being discontinued or frequency reductions?

It looks as though BIQ, CCF, BGY, MJV, NTE and TSF all go into hibernation, as they did last winter.
In addition, PMI and ALC (new this summer) don't seem to be bookable this winter, although I'm sure they will be back.
LBA also seems to have gone (-3 per week), which given its miserable performance last winter isn't a huge surprise.
Compared to last winter, RIX (-2) and KUN (-2) are out, but SXF (+2) and the 3 new Polish routes are in (+6), along with the additional daily flight to STN (+7) and to LGW (+7). Overall, the total number of flights looks like being slightly up, by a couple of flights a day.
