In Italy, there are strong rumours that Ryanair is about to start flying to "true" Verona (Valerio Catullo airport) this year. That will not weaken the position of BGY, thay say, in fact Orio al Serio will soon get its tenth ac and add flights.

The Drop down box on the RYR Web page from Bournemouth is showing 18 destinations, is that it for next summer ? 17 if you take EDI off which is being canx, will they still do the Canaries in the Summer ?
Is that enoough to keep 2 aircraft busy ?
Or will they have a big fanfair announcement when the second aircraft arrives in march and put on some more routes ?

In Spain, just 12 days are left for Ryanair to confirm the slots it has requested at El Prat (BCN). Among the destinations in question one can find MAD, BVA, LPA, IBZ. The deadline on 28th of January.

The Canaries Routes from BOH have already been extended for the Summer 2010 Season, this was announced the same time as New routes for Summer 2010 to Fuerteventura, Ibiza, Malta and Valencia were announced, With Palma, Alicante and Malaga also benefiting from increased frequency... so hopefully that'll keep the 2 Craft Busy
Hope that helps

ORK changes
FR have taken FR9848/9 out of DUB Cork schedule as well as the FR907/8 STN ORK for summer 2010. This would mean that the Cork based 738 will be finished work at 1910 each evening. Not like Ryanair. Is a 2nd ORK LGW on the cards?
The afternoon DUB ORK FR9857/8 has also gone missing from the Summer schedule.
Aer Arann must be watchiing with interest. Is the 4 year David v Goliath battle on ORK DUB about to enter a new phase?

To pee or not to pee - that is the question?
From UK Airport News
"Spending a penny" could soon become spending a £ or Euro...Well that's inflation for you! No doubt the crew will have to pay as well......
Next refinement will no doubt be a charge per litre or kilo dependant on whether it is "number ones" or "twos" And here's an opportunity for airport shops to stock incontinence pads for those blokes who can't tie a knot in it or ladies who can't keep their legs crossed

Ryanair will press ahead with plans to charge passengers to use its aircraft’s toilets, the Irish Times reports. Despite admitting an announcement last year that it would install coin-operated facilities was a publicity stunt, chief executive Michael O’Leary is now revisiting the issue, according to the airline.
The budget airline would remove the two toilets at the back of each aircraft, leaving only one on board and creating room for six extra seats. The fee would mean there there is less demand for the limited facilities on board, but things could get difficult if the only toilet broke, which could mean that aviation authorities would not accept the plan.
In its in-flight magazine Ryanair described the coin-operated toilets as a 'cost saving proposal' that would help reduce fares by at least 5 percent. Spokesman Stephen McNamara told the newspaper that the €1/£1 charge would apply only to flights of an hour or less, which would include almost all Ryanair routes between Ireland and Britain.

Oh what a trendy nick I have! Thinking about starting the campaign “let us pee for free”
I've just noticed FR had to adjust the frequencies on many routes even during Summer... as the result of this publicity? The reductions seem directly proportional to its abominable nature. An efficient enterprise with a disastrous propaganda, that's what it is.
the FR media machine going into overdrive again

Maybe the plan is to further reduce turnaround times.
Boarding is a mad dash for seats which reduces the time.
So how do you persuade the pax to scram as quickly as possible when you land?
You make sure all the pax are bursting to go to the toilet when you land.

Everyone seems to of forgotten that the -800 is limited to 189 seats due to the number of emergency exits. The same with the -900, this was solved on the -900ER by putting another exit on the left hand side of the aircraft. So unless MOL is going to start cutting holes in 200+ aircraft, and plugging them with emergency exits (very very costly). I seem to remember something to do with emergency escape times?

A premises selling food and a drink, having a minimum number of seats, (189 is certainly above this minimum), must provide free toilets for customer use.
I know many business do not respect this law all across the EU, but I'm sure authorities would enforce it for a large pan-European airline!
thought this was a great idea to beat Ryanair and other airlines baggage charges..dunno if it was posted before.

Fishing Licences - Sounds like ENAC got their way
Cancelling Italian Domestic flights on 24 Dec Ryanir said this ...:
".............ENAC’s Ordinanzas threaten to imprison Ryanair’s handling agents, if they refuse travel to passengers flying with unapproved forms of ID including AT/BT Cards, Employment ID’s or Italian Fishing Licences.........."
Now on the Ryanir website it says that the AT/BT card is OK!
"................
A valid AT/BT card (Italian domestic flights only)
................."

Highly unlikely, can't see KEF giving them the kind of discounts that would entice FR up there.
Egilstaddir or Akureyi would be extremely remote possibilities if the local tourist boards stumped up enough cash to pay for promotion etc, but can't really see it happening.
