Ryanair - 7
Southwest have a fleet of smaller and fully depreciated 737-500s that get used on startup routes or where there is a high business demand which needs frequency. AirTran have both 717s and 737-700s. Easy have had a range of types but are now building A320s to add to their smaller A319s.
Ryanair, having gone for a larger aircraft than any of these (so not following the "conventional" thinking) now need to fill them, which leads to lower frequency and that in turn puts off business travellers. An aircraft 2/3 the size would serve them well. There's not a huge scope left across Europe now for 189 seaters.

About Valencia. The answer is no. Actually Valencia has more routes that it had when it was a base.
They announced just 10 new routes.
________________
Michael Cawley promised today in Valencia 4 big announcements for the next weeks. He also said that there are important airports that aren't yet used by Ryanair, like Lisbon and Amsterdam.
I would bet in four new bases: Copenhagen, Eindhoven, Las Palmas or Tenerife and Berlin.

Would Memmingen be more attreactive as a base at the moment as nearly every route annoucement involves 'Munich West'. It seems certain that Seville will also become a base as well.

Ryanair Bases
Just trying to make sense of the numbers. How many do they have in total? The website is greatly confusing as it's Ryanair PR and we see Valencia as the 43rd base even though it was also the 22nd before they shut it. Malta and Barcelona are both claimed as number 42, so.....how many do they have today?
Aside from VLC how many confirmed upcoming? And was VLC the only one to close?

Travel Tac
Germany recently interduced a Travel Tax of between 8 - 14 euro's. Ryanair have said they will cut routes from countries with travel taxs but not yet with Germany. Ryanair did not expect Germany to impose a tax and since that Ryanair have been very quiet about the tax.
There issuei is with Irish and DAA and there charges.
For summer Ryanair stated they would have 15 bases ac in Dublin but they have 18 ac based so the cuts which they announce are never as bad as they state.

Apparently the police provided water and some food to passengers stuck on a Ryanair plane at Prestwick for 6 hours yesterday. Chocs away! Police bring cheer to passengers stuck on jet at Prestwick Airport - Scotsman.com News
Obviously, it would be totally unreasonable to expect an airline like Ryanair to look after its passengers.
