The NRN based plane will also be used to increase frequencies

EUobserver / Ryanair confident Brussels won't object to toilet charges

"Whatever money we make on the toilets, we'll happily give it away to some charity for incontinent air-travellers," added the Irishman.

How serious does that sound?

As said by male, aged 49. Well, wait some 15 years and travel thereafter*.

Anyone for setting up a charity then? We could call it Continence Relieved Air Passengers, or CRAP for short, with very swish offices built with the treasurers rolling in from RYR. Patron MOL?

I sense jobs all round (or is that jobbies?).

What about Society for the Help of Incontinent Travellers.

Back to business. On Thursday Ryanair is supposed to announce the inclusion of a new French destination into its network. The airport Vatry is located 22 km southeast of Châlons-en-Champagne, near Vatry, in the Marne department. They call it Paris-Vatry, exaggerating a bit, as the distance to the capital city therefrom is just... 160km.

First flights will arrive at the end of June, probably from Scandinavia (Stockholm/Oslo).

eu01 - is this the same Vatry that was the main base for Air Turquoise until 2005 ?
Seems rather closer to somewhere like Reims, Epernay and champagne land than Paris...

Vatry

First flights will arrive at the end of June, probably from Scandinavia (Stockholm/Oslo).
This article (in French) also says Oslo and Stockholm:
Exclusivité /Ryanair arrive à Vatry | L'Union

Can see some potential for this airport, especially for routes to Spain, UK and Italy. Eastern France is so underserved.
It's also 120km from Disneyland Paris, but unfortunately it's not motorway the whole way, don't know if to plan to change that...

Volcanic Ash

This applies to other airlines too, as well as airports, but it's looking like the passenger statistics for April 2010 will be boosted by Easter and deflated by the Iceland volcanic eruption

Totally agree with you CharlieRoy, Eastern France i.e. the Lorranine region is underserved by airlines. Have had to go via LUX in the past to get to cities such as Nancy which seems odd given that the Metz & Nancy areas have a considerably larger population (c.2m. I believe) than the little Grand Duchy! Also seems to have a perfectly good airport at ETZ, so surely Ryanair & others must have it on their radar for future expansion?

Charlie Roy,

Do you know which bases (or routes) will be loaded first? When will the schedule be fully loaded?

Thx!

Mirror calls for Ryanair boycott : Stansted Airport News Stories

tin pot airline
Really? I would hardly call one of the leanest, most efficient and technologically advanced airline in the world to be called 'tin pot'...

What is particularly technologically advanced about Ryanair? The website is far from the best and its aircraft are done to a price.

Huge runway at Chalon, so even Ryanair will be able to stop in time, Was there last month and it is like a jumbo Jet graveyard.

I must have counted at least 14 747's in all white colour scheme, some with engines missing and also a selection of DC10 / MD10 / MD11

On the Ryanair Twitter page,

Boeing is resisting Ryanair's pay for toilet plan due to possible safety concerns. Doesn't rule out Airbus though...

Vatry

Vatry (Paris) is now in the booking engine and on the route map (routes to Oslo Rygge and Stockholm Skavsta), but schedules not loaded yet...

No I don't, sorry. And I tend not to get my hopes up initially because they often just load schedules which are a carbon copy of last winter's schedules in the very beginning... But indeed, I am also very interested to see the schedules for certain routes...

Interesting aerial photos of the Airport and the dispersal areas from its history as a Air Base.
