On the topic of slots in Netherlands this winter. They have requested 6726 slots for winter season at EIN but have only being given 4024 slots. Thats a big differance and is it lightly to casue problems. They got what they wanted for the summer.

I think you'll find that everyone over-declares in EIN, i.e. asks for more than they really need just in case they get lucky. Ryanair had 4046 slots last winter, they have 4024 this winter - that's 11 fewer turnrounds in the whole season, so I think they will be ok in practice.

Some quotes retrieved from a MOU between Ryanair and MST back in January 2010 (not that recent, but still interesting ...)
- "Growth towards a volume between 800,000 and 1 million departing [Ryanair] passengers by the year 2020 is envisioned as possible."
- "Ryanair is also willing to consider basing aircraft at Maastricht Airport in the medium to long term if the route development plans as outlined above reach a critical mass where opening a base would bring additional benefits to the airline, airport or surrounding region. The airport's infrastructure, opening hours and designation would allow this. Any such route development plan would be subject to a legally binding agreement between the Parties, setting out the precise details of the growth plan."

Kassel.
The new airports "competition" would be Paderborn 90 km, Dortmund and Hannover 170 km , Frankfurt 200 km and Leipzig 250 km, so the catchment area appears to be good. If the destinations are attractive then I cann't see why Kassel wouldn't work for FR. Cochstedt has loads factors of 90 % on the sun routes and thats in the middle of nowhere.

I didn't even bother to mention this MOL's visit in Tampere. For me it's obvious MOL doesn't value the opportunities in Finland, shame on him. Besides, FR is lacking a good route strategy here. Closing Malaga in October? Southern Spain and Canaries are a goldmine for Finnair also in Winter, why not for Ryanair?

New FR routes for MAN summer 2013?
Jamie9K,
Please can you provide an indication of when any new routes to presumably keep aircraft 7 and 8 occupied at MAN for next summer are likely to be released. Even better if you can hint at any routes that are likely to launched.
Thanks, DomyDom

I read an interview with RTM representative who said that RTM didn't want to prostitute itself to Ryanair.
History tends to show that those airports which don't want to prostitute themselves usually end up doing so, although I would have thought at RTM they would also face a slots / noise issue.
It wasn't too long ago that suggestions were being made that FR was looking at AMS too. Surely that airport is far too large for them - and I don't mean in terms of capacity, or the fact that the Ryanair gates would be an hour's walk from the entrance!
I await MST routes with interest - iirc, it has been served before from STN, like GRQ?

At the moment MST is served from 11 Ryanair bases in Spain, Italy & Portugal (BGY, PSA, BRI, TPS, PMI, GRO, ALC, AGP, TFS, OPO & FAO).

Anyone think that FR will start flights from Lyon. The new loco terminal has being completed and offers 40% reduction in charges.
And charges are being passed on to passengers who made there bookings on flights to Spain before 2 July.
1 Jul - Spanish Airport Tax Increases The Spanish 2012 budget was?

So if Lyon wants Ryanair, I suggest they not only need to reduce their charges, they also need to find some generous sources of support funding who don't pay any attention to EC state aid investigations and are untroubled about compliance or non-compliance with EC state aid rules.

Ignoring, the issue of Easyjet already having a substantial operation at Lyon, Lyon airport having only 8.5m passengers last year (surprisingly few), and Ryanair having a loathing for French social taxes...
Why would Lyon airport want to actively subsidise Ryanair ? They're in a situation similiar to Manchester. FR makes its big demands (e.g. zero fees), airport publicly refuses to play prostitute, FR goes off in a huff, but FR know that its a big population centre (Lyon was the 2nd most populous French metropolitan area in the 2006 census) and eventually the 2 parties come to an agreement
Then again, there's always the possibility that FR set up an all-year operation at somewhere like Grenoble or St Etienne instead...
