Ideal situation would be easyJet or Vueling open a base at ALC, with easyJet being the better option given that the brand would be better know around Europe, and given the high proportion of inbound tourism.
I still think we will see FR launch a strong summer schedule. Is it now too late for FR to add flights?

Regarding the second question, 15 Jan is the Slot Handback Deadline (to return or cancel slots that airlines don't plan to use). However airlines can always request additional slots after this date if available.

Looking at the route map, EMA & MAN to VLC are shown as year round, but I can't find anything until 26th March out.
For some reason, earliest bookable return is 30th - as all 3 are bases, surely VLC-MAN or EMA would be bookable on the 26th?

Although the Ryanair route map is supposed to be colour coded its not, as far as I can see the only colour coded routes are DUB-VLC, MRS & OPO-LPL,PSA (as seasonal), DUB-TRN (winter) and STN-BCN (red as special service from UEFA final last year) has yet to be changed to a year round route.

RE RYANAIR FIFTIETH @ PAPHOS
I see they have announced their FIFTIETH base at PFO - basing 2 a/c & talking of a US$140M investment
I take it this US$140M includes the 2 a/c?
Also for the UK flight, which LONDON will be their destination of choice?

Paphos on the routemap now. Searching for flight is possible, but the flight are not loaded into te system yet. During booking it comes up as Paphos International

Maybe it's because Pafos IS an international airport...

Oh, I didn't doubt that. Inter-national.. that makes every Ryanair airport a International Airport right ?
For what it's worth, if they are serving an airport (even a small regional airport) from another country, don't you think that makes all of RYR's destinations internationally served airports by definition? (Obviously with the exception of the few domestic flights operated by them)
Heathrow is simply London Heathrow, it does not have International in there. I'm sure there are flights outside of the UK from there!
PFO is a great holiday destination popular with Brits, Scandinavians, Russians and others. Cyprus has good onward connections to places further afield. I'm sure it will be a great addition for RYR.

I agree. In fact we can say that the name International Airport lost it's value a bit.. the name Intercontinental Airport says something nowadays.
Paphos is a very good addition to the Ryanair-network and unfortunately no flight to Eindhoven yet from Paphos. Will be visiting Cyprus for the first time in march, but have to drive to Weeze for my flight to Larnaca..
But still, a lot of options for Paphos with connecting flight (BGY, STN, PSA)

Yeah we have Cyprus Airways, Arkefly and transavia.com flying from Amsterdam Schiphol to Paphos, but they operated in a very different price category. Too expensive for my travel addiction 
That's exactly why I love Ryanair so much. I use transavia.com just during summer break, when they are sometimes cheaper (flying from Amsterdam) then Ryanair from Eindhoven. The rest of the year you find me in Ryanair and Wizz Air planes and occasionally on transavia.com (€35,- for BCN-AMS)

Technically though, even some of the smaller UK regionals could claim to be 'intercontinental' if they had a service to Tunisia, Egypt or Turkey, as many do.
Or as Ryanair would say, Gibraltar south, aka Tangier (or should that be Nador)
