AHO - playing prophet
Knowing Ryanair, playing a prophet is fun and quite easy. Can I?
Listen! My prediction is: FR will soon reduce its routes from Alghero, I wouldn't rule out the closure of the base there and stopping all routes. I'd say, it's likely to happen pretty soon.
What am I pertaining to?
Well, is has emerged that the airport will be unable to fulfill its commitment to pay the agreed marketing support amounting to 11 € per passenger. The President of the Region of Sardinia has just decided to reduce his contribution by 5,500,000 euros. As the consequence, the support for Ryanair would reduce by half. It's a very recent move, so Ryanair might be yet unaware of that. But predicting the typical reaction of MOL, what else decision could possibly be taken?

Italy
For the first time Ryanair has been sentenced by the Italian judge whose decision will be immediately executable in Ireland. It's possible due to the new EC regulation establishing a European Small Claims Procedure (No 861/2007).
Unfortunately, this first case has been, in my opinion, a very dubious one. Ryanair will have to pay compensation to three Italian passengers following to the eruption of the Icelandic volcano; they'll get 750 € each for paying for overnights and the cost of organizing an alternative travel.
Poland
Tomorrow MOL is expected to visit the site of Ryanair's first Polish base, Wroclaw. Unless announcing the basing of a second plane there (unlikely), I wouldn't expect any sensations.

Interesting. Ryanair returns to Budapest. The new routes are from Bristol, Dublin, Birmingham, London (STN), Bologna. STN 4xweek, other routes 2xweek, starting end March.
Why returning? "We are the only cheap airline, in contrast to easyJet and WizzAir. Even worse, Malev has financial problems", said MOL in Budapest today.

BUD and PRG
Here we go. MOL with Hungarian girls. 
In both Prague and Budapest there were projects to build low-cost airports near the capital cities. "Alba" airport to the West of Budapest and "Vodochody" North of Prague. The Hungarian project has failed, as far as I know. Vodochody is still struggling, but could be up and running not earlier than 2014/2015.

The BUD to Lodz route link is probably untrue. Lodz got the new route to Bristol today, I think the fault could be related to this update.
Btw., no second aircraft for new Wroclaw base, MOL just wanted to arrange some pictures and videos with him dressed as a Polish national football team supporter.

A bit late to the party, but, it is disappointing there is no return to the schedule for Prestwick - Budapest. Used the flight a fair few times, and it was always packed.

Rumours elsewhere of flights to Lviv (LWO) from UK and France from May. Great, if true. I went there last year and it's a fantastic place with a beautiful old city and friendly locals.
Hope that lasts though if there's a horrible influx of stag weekenders.

Greece
The base in Thessaloniki is precisely... 1.5 million euro away. Ryanair has requested 1.5 million a year for opening the base and bringing 500,000 passengers to the city (annually). The proposal was submitted to Tourism Promotion Agency of the city. This is being considered now.

Seljuk,
I beg to differ. A massive new multi billion € airport like BER was always going to be a ripe opportunity for MOL to have a hissy fit and storm off. Except that he doesn't have anywhere to storm off to - so a slight reduction in frequency across the board, but the routes stay, is not such a bad outcome.
From the UK routes perspective, ok, so EDI loses out, but Easy still do GLA. Meanwhile here @BHX, we get a new LH route - so every opportunity for either of those two (less likely AB) to pick up the route FR have dropped.
Ideally, I guess MOL would rather stay at the SXF terminal, but that's not going to happen, so once the new airport has settled down, routes will slowly start coming back. Look how much he screamed about ORK, which cost a fraction of what is being spent on BER - but how many routes have since been moved over from SNN, where I presume he just can't get the same yields.
FR will fly to/from BER but will reduce frequencies to almost all of their destinations. Not a good sign.
