A press conference also scheduled for Charleroi tomorrow to announce one new route.
I don't expect that route to be Charleroi - Brno.
I'm guessing that new East Midlands' routes will be announced tomorrow to Charleroi, Brno and other destinations.

So there is a press conference in EIN aswell?
Charleroi already has a route to Valencia so that doesn't immediately tie in with the whole Valencia base announcement tomorrow...
Another potential/rumoured routes for the new Valencia base? I'm hoping for Cork, but will settle for Shannon

I don't know if there will be a press conference in Eindhoven hence the "if" in my original post. But you're right about CRL anc VLC.
Valencia-Eindhoven is pretty much sure, they have slots for it and history learns us that they are a reliable source.

Barcelona-Brno seems to be a new route. Just appeared in the booking engine. Any more people have noticed? I can't remember where they flew from from Girona before!
And Ryanair have quickly removed this route from the booking engine!

Is STN to lose an entire aircraft then?
Billund would replace Esbjerg I imagine, they aren't too far apart. Probably annoy Sterling though.
Surprised Genoa is going, even if it is 'seasonal'. That leaves no London link with the city, BA pulled out a couple of years ago after flying there for 50ish years?
And what went wrong with Malmo? That must be the entire schedule? Or is there to be a move to Copenhagen as rumoured before?

Does anybody think ryanair should get some smaller planes , to cover some of the routes a 737-800 is to big for?, obviously some of these routes had demand but not for such a big plane? Maybe an off shoot ...like 'Baby ryanair'
Or 'Ryanair Junior!!!!'
Or 'Ryanair Junior!!!!'

take off, Ryanair smaller planes
I would have always agreed on theory that Ryanairs business model did not lend itself to more than one type of aircraft. In fact everyone on here would say this too. However, If we consider Southwest they have more than 1 variant of the 737.
This makes perfect sense. Routes like Blackpool/Stansted and a few more could be viable with a smaller aircraft. I mean there are many markets that dont suit a 738.
The 737 variants have crew commonality so no need to retrain or have separate crews. I realise that they dont have flexibility to substitute one with a 737. But the main theory behind having one type is crew type rating and leverage with supplier on price when buying one type and spares etc.
The model that Ryanair have has been changed over the years and nothing would surpirse me. For eg they are now talking about Primary airports. Buying a handful of 737-700s or 737-500s shouldnt be a big issue at all. What does anyone else think?

I don't think Ryanair would buy another type of a/c, you would totally have to change the whole set-up of Ryanair, Crew would need re-training, Engineers re-training, manuals .........
The biggest cost of a route is the pilots wages, so even if you had a smaller a/c like a 737-500 you will still be paying the same for the flight deck, and only save alittle on the cabin crew, and fuel, but saying that the 737-800 is great on fuel.
Loads more routes for it to move into yet before we can think about smaller routes like STN-BLK. I wonder when we will see flights to eastern europe and greece.
