Looks like Ryanair have cut Bournemouth s only daily flight next summer to popular Alicante to just 4 flights now , always had high load factors but i am guessing it must be to do with the dispute about air bridges ?
At the moment Gerona remains at 5 flights a week but with Vuelling about to announce services next summer to Barcelona from Southampton i wonder how long that will remain at
Any more news on the possible Malta service being re started from Bournemouth as well ?

Will it be sold as Turku or Helsinki West?
Turku (Swedish Åbo) is a mid-size old town, former capital city of Finland. For tourist flying there, good opportunity to visit both Finland and Sweden. E.g. STN - TKU, night ferry to Stockholm (VERY cheap tickets usually available), wherefrom NYO - STN back home.

Ryanair to Turku
According to a Dutch Finland-fan website flights to Turku will start in April. To Brussels (Charleroi) and one of the London-airport (Luton or Stansted). It's not been comfirmed that it will be Stansted yet. Indeed Malaga and Barcelona for the summer. Exp. passengers set at 100.000.

Gatwick
With the new owners of Gatwick out to attract new airlines and routes for their investment
Are there any plans for next summer for Ryanair to expand into new markets from Gatwick ?
Would be nice to see a base created at Gatwick with maybe a couple of aircraft to start with
Any body have any information into any future plans

As it stands 14 routes being dropped with questions over another 4 -6. Most routes that operate will see a reduction. Things could change but thats how its looking now.

Ryanair is so bizarre. It has a monster row with Girona, pulls loads of routes, opens at El Prat, and then Pee reports it's opening a new route from Turku to Girona rather than BCN. Perhaps Finnair or someone already operates HEL-BCN, so Ryanair are playing clever - but then Pee says Turku isn't exactly near Helsinki. Or perhaps Finns have a particular liking for holidays/second homes on the Costas Brava and Maresme.
I just read the Donny route to Alicante's been axed. Oh dear. Hope they don't pull Faro and Tenerife as well.

Its not just MAN & LBA, its also EMA. Many of our pax at EMA come from the doncaster area. All these airports are close and its a case of looking after the bases first. The ALC-HUY is stopping due to the number of seats sold to travel agents.

I wouldn't disagree with that. Just unfortunate that the two routes that seemed to be doing well, Alicante and Girona, were the airports that Ryanair got into arguments with.
Ryanair understandably pulled Girona after Easyjet opened BCN. When EZY pulled that, Ryanair were in the middle of their argument with Girona and Leeds-BCN had been announced by them. In the good old days I can remember FR putting an extra flight on to Girona in October half-term as the first had sold out so quickly.
I suppose the weekly TFS flight must be doing OK for FR to go to the bother of retaining handling agents etc for one flight a week.

#2301 says two a week from HUY are retained.
I think FR- means the flights are 'keeping going' rather than 'ceasing' in the way he uses the word 'stopping'.
