Bremen to close from the 6th to 14th of August due to runway repair work. All flights have been cancelled. Why didn't they go to Hannover for or Hamburg (1 hour away) for the 8 days and try to accomodate passengers?

Re Bremen

Passengers notified as soon as Airline knew, with 5 1/2 months to go before runway is shut it allows more than adequate time for persons who have booked to arrange other flights.

Perhaps instead of bitching about it, why not ask the airport why they are closing during peak season.

The work should be carried out in stages and at night time like all other major European airports and closing during the peak summer season is not acceptable. Most airports carry out runway repairs during the winter.

peak summer season
?

I think early August is a quiet time of year for Bremen, rather than 'peak season'.

Here are the figures in detail EIDW http://www.merrion-capital.com/wp-co...SelFeb2012.pdf

Does anyone know why some of the new routes announced from Leipzig starting March according to the "route news section" on Ryanairs website are still not bookable?

Leipzig Faro was supposed to available from March but it's not bookable even in the summer?

From May 15 to July 15, the Ukrainian sky will be open to all airlines of the world with the appropriate license. In addition, we conclude the negotiations with one of the largest low-cost carriers and I think the cheap flights will be started even before the beginning of the championships".
These first flights are likely to fly from Britain and France to Lviv and Donetsk
This is the citation of what Mr. Kolesnikov, Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister said to the press today, commenting the introduction of a temporary "Open Skies" regulation in Ukraine during the football championships.

---------------------------------------

From the Merrion research above:
Based on guidance, the average fare for Ryanair in FY12 will be 30% higher than FY10 and reach its highest level in ten years
I think it could be even more than 30%. Look at these prices:
Thu 26 Apr 12
Depart:
Tampere 19:20
Arrive:
Budapest T2 20:40
1 x Adult 111.22 EUR

Tue1 May 12
Depart:
Budapest T2 15:35
Arrive:
Tampere 18:55
1 x Adult 121.81 EUR

Total
233.03 EUR
+ CC fees, + luggage fees...

Flights to Ukraine

I have just been talking with a close friend who works at Lviv airport, she has told me that two low cost airlines are to be granted licenses to fly from Britain to Lviv, the licenses are for six months and twelve months respectively and will start in the next couple of months.
Lviv airport employees have been told flights from three British airports six days per weeks. One airline is British the other European, Ryanair or Wizzair are favorite for the European airline but I'm not sure which British airline it will be, Easyjet maybe?

Great news for those of us who have friends in Ukraine, hopefully the flights will be from Liverpool, Leeds or Manchester then no more stopovers at Heathrow or Gatwick.

Stockbroker makes comment and everbody jumps on board

Now correct me if I'm wrong but every other airline will face the same cost pressures on fuel....................fact is many are already doing so.

Many banks are unable / unwilling to fund hedging positions with some airlines, simply because there are unsure of the overall longterm viability of the airline(s) concerned.

If someone is taking a hedging position its because they believe in a potential profit opportunity. If they likely to lose both in terms of the hedging position and the airline going bust they will stay away or charge a super premium upfront.

Airline then really at mercy of market and trust me the suppliers will know it as well hence cash upfront or limited credit terms.

The demise of Malev / Spanair plus sadly a number of others that may follow open up opportunities for those who have the ability, capacity and to get them.

Its easy surviving a recession, the problem is surviving the recovery or the false recoveries that will happen before you are really out of it.

A £5 rise in fuel costs on a £100 ticket you have a problem. This is worst if the same fuel cost rise is on a £40 ticket. This is why planes are being rested in the winter.

For ryanair the big problem is the effect on the 2nd hand plane market. Ryanair has been used to buying new planes at close to cost and selling them on before they need major work at close to the price paid.

I think the Stockbroker probably underestimates FR pricing ability, they still enjoy a huge cost advantage over other airlines and all transports cost in Europe are on an upward trend, further FR will be willing to push its non unionised staff closer to the brink of industrial action than say Easyjet.

On the downside is the passenger mix, i suspect that Easyjets pax mix is a little better off than the average FR pax, FR are cheap but once the price creeps up it will hit the upper limit of its passengers willingness/ability to pay before some of its peers. Of course Ryanair now dominate some markets to the extent that they have little choice, its either pay up or stay at home and a good number will be forced to do just that.

I think the report shows just how well MOL called it when he did the Boeing deal, it gave him the means and the cost advantage to take a big bite out of the market and its clear that that type of deal will not come around again from either Boeing or Airbus, but the Chinese would fall over themselves to get FR to be launch customer in a Western market, but FR would get a deal and a half, i reckon it would have to be £20m an aircraft after any import duties and lots of freebies, would passengers be bothered? i doubt it as long as it meets European safety standards.

26 new routes

Looks to me just a hot air press release. There are about 18 or 20 routes from London which are seasonal running every year only in the summer. The remaining new routes have largely already been announced and gone on sale, some by virtue of other routes being cancelled or seeing reduced frequency.

Nothing new to see here, move along please.

If there's one company that won't bend over and take it from MOL it's Exxon.
