As far as I am aware Ryanair have never offered wifi on flights, yet alone 'free'! It is ryanair we are talking about here yes? Why would Ryanair offer a free service? It's just not their business model...
They do have a small number of aircraft equipt with 'onAir' mobile phone usuage technology where you are able to make voice calls and texts only when permitted to do so. Though even this has had a set back as a new provider was to be found, not sure if they have sorted that now.

OnAir Phone System
Guys you really to check ryanair.com for news. The OnAir phone system was stopped over a month ago, due to on air not being able to work with ryanair. It was on however about 30 a/c. The service did really well on italian based a/c.

you will find this is what ryanair said. It is there estimate and needed for them to make the estimated profits.
While you are correct that a strong $ against the Euro helps when they sell planes it hurts big time when they buy fuel.
I am not forecasting Ryanair's demise as it can operate at a loss for many years on its asset base. What I am expecting is that it will make less profit this year and go into losses or only tiny profits in later years. Its average fare is too low to make a profit at higher oil prices. The only way oil price is going down is if we have a big downturn.
You quote a 5-10% fare increase ?
Which is it ? 5 or 10% ?

Oh dear me Ryanair continue to buck the trend - one Irishman
that can run an airline and make a profit at the same time -whatever

Befree:
The optimism of your negative view is nearly as sarcastic as ASFKAP´s -
beware of´playing the airline game´with a pre-determined outcome!

You start of the premise that management do nothing which is why time and again your attempt at forecasting Ryanair's demise is such a crock of sugar.
Ryanair has shown itself again and again to have people quickly willing and able to grasp at ideas and plans which years ago were unthought about. Not all of them work but then again nobody would expect that.
One only has to look at post 9/11 where they got people back on planes quickly when the industry faced meltdown or talking to boeing when everybody else was cancelling orders.
LUCK doesn't just happen which is why your forecasts are laughable as there is such a negativity that you fail to grasp that management can actually manage. They make mistakes but then again their recovery makes up for it. Keep providing the humourous forecasts.

Ryanair need to fill 11% extra seats and rise seat prices to cope with higher fuel costs. They also face a big drop in pax at Dublin. Spending cuts around Europe will mean a lot less state or council aid to regional airports. The more FR have to pull out of airports that need to charge real landing fees the more planes they need to find new homes.
Ryanair putting up revenue per pax by 5-10% will be a big change for the airline. It will lead to a few less people flying and a few going with better airlines. The ash problems showed many that it was better to pay a bit more and get looked after when airspace was closed.
While BA is in self harm mode, ryanair will do ok but we will then have a hard winter for the industry.

This year they get 50 new planes - 23% increase but are only going to grow by 11%.
Beware, Ryanair are growing much more than that in terms of seat kilometers because there is a huge increase of average stage length. Which is also a good reason to increase average fares per pax.

Apologies if this is a noob question. Have all Ryanair's winter 10/11 schedules been loaded? I ask as there is nothing on for STN-PIK, yet there are other STN routes available after Oct 30th? Thanks. Seems an unlikely route for the chop.

I would say no, I'm still waiting for STN-LPA to be loaded, Easyjet have has LGW-LPA loaded for ages, Someone at Ryanair needs to sort this out because people are more than ready to start booking there winter sun holidays, I have been tempted to book with Easyjet out of LGW but live very close to STN but I'm sure other people would have gone and booked elsewhere. I would have thought that the winter sun destinations should be the first to be loaded at the very latest 01 May. Come on Ryanair sort it out.

I received a message from someone yesterday to say that he couldn't book a flight from Prestwick to Charleroi in November. I hope that some routes are still to be loaded on to the booking system. I can't see Ryanair dropping this and the Stansted routes.

One would think that it would make sense to open for bookings at the start of the previous season... i.e. winter bookings 10/11 opening around the start of summer 10...or maybe that's just me hoping! I get different airlines/seasons/routes/years are all different but is a basic commuter route. I only ask as I am flying on (the last) PIK-BUD flight on 27/10 and ideally would prefer to return to PIK for the car, so EJ/BA/BMI to GLA are out. 
Returning to my previous point, are there any negatives to releasing a schedule 5-6 months in advance, seems to me it could only be positive re. advance bookings and an opportunity to weed out any potential weak links in that regard? If anyone has the inside track on FR scheduling, feel free to share! (esp. re. PIK 10/11 flights haha)

Not the first time, probably not the last either.
During a court case commonly known as the REPA court case the judge had the following to say about two Ryanair executives, a Base Captain and the Director of Flight Ops respectively:
You can come to your own conclusions about the company culture at the Whitehouse.
Over to you Leo.
On some of Eddie Wilson's evidence: "baseless and false"
and on some of Warwick Brady's: “I find this to be false evidence”
and on Jack Bagnall: “supercilious attitude” in the witness box
and of course David O'Brien: his "professed delicacy of feeling" was found to be "less than sincere"

Stories about FR being 'economical' with the truth are hardly anything new on this forum, let alone the wider media. A leopard won't change it's spots and all that...People prefer reading about MOL and his pals getting up to no good
