Tampere
Tampere will get a connection from Oslo (Rygge), 4 times a week (12--5-7).
Don't know if it's official already, but never mind, it's sure.
Still nothing new about routes to BGY and AGP though. Very weird if intended to discontinue at end October (excellent LF's and yields so far).

New route MLA-EIN announced today. Twice weekly (---4--7). MLA based plane had 1st slot of the day empty on those days. (KRK and BLL seem to be dropped after 30 Oct).

Still 3 empty slots (1-3-5--) for MLA plane. Any hints on new routes?

LGW 08R
Sorry to disappoint, I strongly suspect this is a case of error with data entry...wait a few days and I very much believe that you'll find the data is switched around (i.e. I think the schedules are probably right but the timings for the OPO-LGW sector have been entered into their system against the LGW-OPO sector by mistake and vice versa for the "return")
After compiling the latest timetable together and looking at it, it looks to me as if Gatwick still has some more routes to come. I came to this conclusion after looking at the Oporto flight.There is not yet any arrival of an aircraft to operate this flight before hand. This means one of two things, either Gatwick is getting a based aircraft or, a W route is to operate to OPO flights, but the origin route has yet to be announced.

Thanks, i did suspect as much initially. Whats the point in them releasing the flights, if they are only going to change the times a couple days later? Still, wouldn't surprise me to see some more routes in the next month or two.

LGW Madrid twice a day?
LGW 08
In your timetable list, of 18 Aug, you show LGW to Madrid twice a day at 1010 and 2100. I cannot find that on the Ryr site. Where did you get that from? Am I missing something here?

FR European News
Just gathered some interesting news from Europe.
Germany
Over 50 environmental activists have blocked Ryanair's check-in counter at Bremen Airport Saturday morning, appealing „Für ein ganz anderes Klima“ "For a totally different climate". After some 10 minutes the agreement with security forces has been reached what allowed the staff to return to their duties.
Italy
I a very unusual way some enthusiasts try to facilitate the creation of Ryanair's base in Lamezia Terme. In their appeal we can read "Ryanair is the only carrier able to give the right impetus to national and international traffic from Lamezia." Right. You can of course visit the website and sign this appeal. I wouldn't be an optimist, though. The carrier would certainly prefer some cash bonuses or other incentives and is not likely to react to any appeals, at least didn't use to.
Finland
Ryanair has celebrated the 10.000th passenger on the NRN-Lappeenranta route. Not surprisingly the lucky one was a citizen of Russia, as St. Petersburg residents are by far the majority of passengers there. According to Ryanair's spokesman it's been a "great success", the planes fly full. Following that they are ready to create up to 10 new routes from Lappeenranta by next Summer. They want however to reach a special agreement with the local authorities, threaten to withdraw completely if the 5-year deal is not signed.
Err... do FR expect this small town on the EU border to act as a Santa Claus and prop-up the mass-transfer of Russian people to other countries within the Union? Being overly optimistic, it seems.

Yes I should have looked further ahead into the winter schedule - thanks.
From your list I deduce that
1 Gatwick is not a Ryanair base
2. There are no very early outbound flights - nor very late inbounds.
3. Frequncy to Madrid is being increaced - which is a change from the reductions elseware.

St. Petersburg West
this small town on the EU border
Such a blackmail is possibly not the best way of negotiating here in Finland. In Lappeenranta they really did understand the chances related to having a well positioned airport, but they will not give an answer in week or two and by no means hastily. Last week the city council has ordered a special research to evaluate some important questions. Especially who are the passengers, where they go, how much time they spend in Carelia region and what services they tend to use. It will take some time, every decision here must have good grounds to be taken.
Any retaliation could have some negative consequences for everyone. Tampere for example didn't agree to some terms and conditions, FR retaliate by cancelling an extremely well running route BGY-TMP. Not a very smart solution; in a way, it can hurt both sides.
And the Open Skies agreement with Russia? Not very likely. But even if eventually comes, would the fee level be satisfactory for Ryanair?
Btw., the celebration in Lappeenranta (from yle.fi)

@BoyRyan: Thanks to "Wouter J" I heard this as well, do you have a different source as: Ryanair: après Charleroi, Eindhoven sera relié à Chypre | Air Journal (french)?

Eindhoven - Larnaca
> une route qui sera opérée deux fois par semaine, le jeudi et le dimanche.
A very specific data, isn't it? Probably true, looks like.
But then... it is not possible to fly a W-pattern there. A triangle? Or maybe a new base in one of these places?
Elsewhere:
Denmark
The Danish press stresses the fact that Ryanair intends to cut as much as 16 out of 21 existing routes from Billund and Aarhus this winter. There are strong speculations the routes will be shifted to CPH's new Swift lo-co terminal. No confirmation for all that.

@eu01: Looks true indeed, however it is strange that there is no other source.
The shortest W-pattern possible would be along the lines of STN-EIN-LCA-EIN-STN. If the plane would depart STN at 06:00 it would be back at 18:10, using the CRL-LCA block times. I don't know what the maximum day of a Ryanair crew is, but this seems pretty long indeed.
A base is unlikely as well as that usually involves more then 1 new route.

If these times are correct, it would not be possible, the crew would go out of hours everytime. The crew would report at 05:15 and finish duty at 18:40, a duty time of, 13hrs 25mins. Im sure STN LASG would have something to say about it.
So either EIN or LCA is going to be a base, or Ryanair will start doing a random planned night stop, so the crew will have sometime to put in crew bags.
The maximum FDP is 13 hrs.
These 13 hrs will be reduced by 30 mins for each sector from the third sector onwards with a maximum total reduction of 2 hrs.

Undoubtedly Ryanair has noticed the potential of Lappeenranta. Now FR is just playing its old game, blending promises, blackmail and retaliation in order to get their way. Several new routes BUT under special conditions, IF NOT we could leave (as Shearer said politely to Finnish Radio, listen).
