An airline holding an Irish AOC cannot fly between UK and Turkey, not even on a charter basis.
Ryanair can provide direct air services to Turkish destinations ONLY from the Republic of Ireland.
So please stop asking about it everytime.

FR is to launch a new French domestic connection : Beauvais-Pau. I guess it's going to be operated with the 6th based aircraft in EDI on a W-rotation.
On the other hand, Ryanair seems to have removed from sales various routes originating from its Sardinian base in Alghero.
Flights to Bari, Brescia, Beauvais, Bremen, Charleroi, Liverpool as well as Reus are all no longer available.

From anna.aero:
"The science of route planning according to Ryanair’s COO Michael Cawley: “We don’t bother trying to analyse the living daylights out of a route, we have a look at the demographics, and then make a decision to do it – we accept that around 7-10% might not work but we don’t see this as failure – we see it as 90% success.”"
Interesting but not surprising!

Kevyon, lose the attitude buddy!!
I have only asked this question once, the reason I mentioned it was because I didn't know the answer. But thanks for informing me in such a
delightful manner.
Would be interested to know more about the Turkish rule and the reason behind but don't want my head bitten off!
EDI - PFO twice a week is viable.

A good example is the Canada and the UAE. The UAE wants more frequencies but the Canadians won't agree to amend the treaty since it is unlikely any Canadian carriers will want them - indeed it could take away business from Air Canada, at least that is the fear.
In recent years we now have a common aviation area in most of Europe (and Morocco) and open skies. Some countries at least are changing philosophy from trying to protect their own interests to the 'free market' philosophy. Interestingly Canada has an open skies deal with Europe, but in this case Canadian airlines are better positioned to take advantage of this
Any chance of Ryanair producing for flights to poitiers

Flights between countries are traditionally ruled by air service treaties between the countries concerned. To allow an Irish airline to operate between the UK and Turkey would require an amendment to the UK/Turkey deal and the Ireland/Turkey deal. The Turks, and possibly the UK, may want something in return from the Irish. Each side wants the maximum possible benefit for itself, and traditionally each country wanted to protect it's national airline
A good example is the Canada and the UAE. The UAE wants more frequencies but the Canadians won't agree to amend the treaty since it is unlikely any Canadian carriers will want them - indeed it could take away business from Air Canada, at least that is the fear.

RYR Skavsta 10/02/10
Copied and pasted from Ryanair's website:-
"Stockholm Skavsta Airport Closure - 10th Feb 2010
Stockholm Skavsta Airport illegally closed their runway yesterday evening, without prior notice being given to either Ryanair or its passengers. As a result of this closure, one aircraft was forced to divert to Stockholm Arlanda airport, all passengers were transported by bus back to Stockholm Skavsta Airport. We sincerely apologise to all passengers affected by this unnecessary diversion which was outside of Ryanair's control.
All flights are expected to operate normally on the 11th February."
A rather tetchy explanation from FR, could anyone shed anymore
light?
Hope this is the right forum, not wishing to ruffle anyone's feathers.

Long bus ride from Stockholm Arland to Skavsta! Most passengers were probably on their way to Stockholm city anyway - who on earth would want to go to Skavsta, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night?

Interesting story! A similar thing happened to me late last year. On December 22nd 2009 I was on a flight from STN to GSE - as we got closer to Gothenburg the pilot said that due to the weather both Gothenburg Säve and Landvetter airports were closed, and that we would circle while they cleared the runways. Eventually we began approaching Säve only to abort quite late into the approach, whereupon we flew directly to Stockholm (I'm not sure if it was Skavsta or Vasteras, I think the former) where we landed and were initially wished a pleasant onward journey and thanked for flying with RYR - not very helpful when you're on the other side of a country in a middle of a snowstorm, 22:30 and in true Ryanair style, a long way from another transport hub. Before a mutiny broke out the staff announced that we would wait on the plane while they found out what RYR head office had to say, and whether Gothenburg would be re-opening soon. An hour or so later we took off and flew to Gothenburg Landvetter (we were able to call friends/family/etc while on the ground and rearrange meetings), and that was the end of that. No mention of 'illegal' closures, compensation, no sign of this in the Ryanair news archive.
