I cannot see Krakow-Balaton working. If it's for the Summer season it would make much more sense to fly from a German airport to Balaton. Edinburgh-Tampere is also a route that's likely to last for weeks or a few months rather than years.

The district court of Zala County has put the Cape Clear Aviation, the company that operates the Balaton Airport FlyBalaton Sármellék, under liquidation.
The company [said previously] that it would close FlyBalaton in winter [and wanted to open it again] in April 2010. In 2008, appr. 120,000 passengers still flew to and from Sármellék, but [last year] only 15,000 passengers were left.

Edit: I've bothered with the Hungarian translation quite unnecessary, here is the link to the English-language text. There is obviously an option that the airport will run in spite of the bankruptcy, but somehow I doubt it.

This story from the Limerick Post indicates that Ryanair does seem to be pressing ahead with it's fleet reduction at SNN - pretty drastic stuff...

And yes the schedules are pretty scant. However to operate what is in the booking engine they will need 2 aircraft. And it is very possible that routes like Charleroi, Alicante, Birmingham, Bristol, Prestwick etcetera will end up being operated by aircraft based at those airports.

Today's Examiner appears to indicate that it has been confirmed by Ryanair
http://www.irishexaminer.com/busines...es-105931.html
Although it also refers to transferring aircraft to bases in Holland and Ryanair don't have any bases there. Unless that means an Eindhoven base is planned.

On looking today there is now no availability in the booking engine for BRS-SNN next summer and the timetable for next summer is blank.

FR @ BHX
Any chance that FR will be gracing BHX with any new routes in the future as it would seem its BHX base is on a down hill free fall slide into nothing, what a difference from when the base was first launched. Have FR fallen out with BHX or is BHX simply not performing as a base?

O’Leary says deal with Boeing is ‘highly unlikely’
Irish Independent:
Hmm, looks like Boeing's not rolling over too easily, so we're into the last few days of hardball negotiation...
Ryanair Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary said a deal to buy new planes from Boeing is "highly unlikely."
He said talks with the aircraft company will end if a deal isn’t reached by the end of the month.
"We don’t bluster. We make threats and carry them out," O’Leary said at a press conference in Dublin today.

This time last year talks with Greek Authorities came to a halt, but, in the last few days there has been alot of chatter in the papers and in greek aviation forums about ryanair's first routes in greece, volos - milan, volos - london/birmingham. Aparently an aggrement has been met, and the deal is waiting to be signed.

Does Volos have an airport or would it be Neo Acholis (sorry I forget the spelling) AFB? I was fun mixing it with the Greeck F16s oh and their nets at the eastern end of the runway!

Indeed, this article suggests Ryanair close to agreeing to fly from Volos to Milano or Bologna:

This is a totally new Airport. a much needed addition to central Greece. This could become the 3rd largest airport in Greece, large catchment area.

Catalunya newspaper AVUI that Ryanair is going to start operations in the airport of Barcelona El Prat in Spring, to compete with Iberia, Spanair and Vueling in the world's busiest route: Madrid-Barcelona.
Ryanair entra a l'aeroport del Prat
L’aerolínia irlandesa de baix cost vol arribar a l’aeroport de Barcelona a la primavera i acaparar el pont aeri
Ryanair, la companyia irlandesa low cost, està ultimant el seu pla de treball per entrar a l’aeroport de Barcelona la primavera vinent, segons han explicat a l’AVUI fonts del sector, informació que l’aerolínia no ha desmentit. En arribar al Prat, Ryanair es bolcarà en el pont aeri, operació que anirà en detriment de Spanair, Vueling i, sobretot, Iberia, que fa uns dies va anunciar reducció de tarifes en aquesta ruta, per tal de revitalitzar l’única operació que fa al Prat.
Abaratir les taxes, o tenir un descompte del 100% com s’ha fet en alguns aeroports de l’Estat, era una de les premisses que demanava Ryanair a Aena per entrar a Barcelona, juntament amb la no utilització de fínguers o d’autobusos i permetre que els passatgers caminessin per la pista fins a arribar a l’avió.
En aquest sentit, fonts consultades d’Aena asseguren que “aquestes condicions continuen sent inacceptables, tal com es va comunicar a l’aerolínia irlandesa fa uns mesos, quan aquesta va expressar la seva intenció de situar-se al Prat”. Les mateixes fonts asseguren que en cas de venir a Barcelona “tindran les mateixes condicions que la resta d’aerolínies”.
Tarifes especials
Ryanair té tarifes aeroportuàries especials als aeroports de Girona i Reus, però a Barajas, on també està present, les taxes que abona són les mateixes que s’apliquen a la resta d’aerolínies i els seus passatgers no accedeixen als avions caminant. A Barcelona serà el mateix.
Fonts d’Aena també expliquen que, en cas que Ryanair s’instal·li al Prat, “fins al febrer tenen temps d’informar-nos”, perquè els slots [les franges horàries dels avions per aterrar i enlairar-se] es demanen a Brussel·les, on es troben els estaments aeronàutics europeus, i tenen fins a finals de desembre per sol·licitar operar des del Prat del 28 de març al 31d’octubre del 2010. Aena també va confirmar que Ryanair se situaria a la terminal 2 del Prat, destinada a companyies de vols punt a punt i xàrters.

Don`t they have a very good rail link now as well which has caused passenger numbers to drop greatly on air route
Not exactly a similar example but look at Cork - Dublin. Fares are often cheaper than the train, and depending on your final destination the plane can sometimes be the fastest option.
