Here - ryanair marseille base - Ryanair ferme mardi sa seule base française, à Marseille
are a series of vid links to various news outlets on RyR leaving MRS.
Not much more detail and little info on routes. MO'L did say he would reverse the flight pattern of a number of the MRS routes, presumably where he has aircraft based, hence Eindhoven loses and Edinburgh and Dublin will continue.
Personally I am surprised that they have dropped a number of flights to/from Morocco, they were, by all appearances, doing well there. Perhaps they'll open a few more in Summer, although I wouldn't have thought it was a big deal summer/winter as it was mostly expats living in France who travelled.
Here - Ryanair - New flight offers there are so-called new routes from MRS including Malaga, which was already operated.... So.... watch the space....

thats what i thought BUT the inbound from TFS - LPL is still showing and booking, its hard to explain unless you look at their site.
Are these "one way" flights called repositioning flights maybe, not sure why they would only make the aircraft go in one direction

Closed routes
I see FR have cancelled both Altenburg and Graz from STN. Rather sad as I'd intended to use the Graz flights this spring and always enjoyed the bucolic charms of Altenburg and the fantastic restaurant in its Rathaus...

...and some re-openings too.
Just 800.000€ of marketing support finally granted has done the trick. The axed international routes to Santiago de Compostela will be re-instated as of end March. HHN-SCQ will be flown 3 times a week, STN-SCQ 4xweek (in Winter x3) and instead of Rome, BGY will be introduced (thrice-weekly). The still ongoing negotiations concern the CRL-SCQ route.
The amount of €0.8 mln is the official sum, reported by the local authorities, although I'm not sure if it concerns just the money for FR or possibly also the similar support to Vueling.

Altenburg? A pity indeed. You can, however, fly to Magdeburg, not so far away.

Graz
Most of the marketing support axed for Graz airport - not only RYR is going to pull out or reduce, probably also Air Berlin and some Regionals.
Strange politically motivated decision...

Ryanair illegally fining passengers who failed to print boarding passes | Mail Online
Well spotted, UKSwans. Yes indeed and Ryanair have commented on their website. I can't quite believe it but it has been suggested that this could end up in the European court. What a waste of money. Although not a great lover of Ryanair, and especially not of MO'R, for once I think they're right on this one.

Whatever could be said about Ryanair exploiting its airports, for many of them the rejection of this carrier is not a good solution either. The article in L'Alsace notes:
Strasbourg-Entzheim on a brink of disaster. With the traffic four times less than in Basel, overtaken also by FKB, Entzheim's future is uncertain. It is suffering because it failed to attract low cost carriers and has been unable to offset the departure of Ryanair [a few years ago]. In contrary, the airport Karlsruhe / Baden-Baden had a passenger growth 8.3% last year.
Of course, also the new fast rail connection (TGV, Eastern Line) has contributed to this poor result.
No wonder one can find also more radical opinions, like this in (Facebook) group "Sauvons l'aéroport de Strasbourg-Entzheim" (Let's save...).
Taxes too high, an oppressive monopoly of Air France, no wonder that the low-cost airlines have disappeared or moved to the nearby airports. We suffer having to travel to another airport while Entzheim is just 9 minutes by local train from Strasbourg [main] station.
Let's fight to achieve a significant drop in fees to attract new connections!
Nobody likes taxes, but sometimes there are really good reasons to lower them.
Strasbourg-Entzheim fait grise mine. Avec 1 060 000 passagers (-4,4 %) en 2010, on a frôlé la catastrophe. Avec un trafic quatre fois inférieur à celui de l’Euro-Airport (...) l’avenir de Strasbourg-Entzheim demeure incertain.(...) il souffre car il n’a pas réussi à attirer une compagnie low cost pour compenser le départ de Ryanair pour le Baden-Airpark voisin. L’aéroport de Karlsruhe/ Baden-Baden dépasse désormais celui de Strasbourg avec un trafic de 1 193 000 passagers, en hausse de 8,3 % l’an dernier.

Des taxes trop élevées, un monopole oppressant d'Air France, il est normal que les compagnies low-cost aient fui ou aillent voir les aéroports voisins. Dans le même temps, nous en souffrons car nous avons alors les trajets à faire jusqu'à cet autre aéroport alors qu'Entzheim est à 9 minutes en TER de la gare de Strasbourg.
Mobilisons-nous pour une baisse significative des tarifs et pour que de nouvelles liaisons aériennes soient ouvertes!

Boarding Pass Issue
I see the toys out of the pram yet again - this time regarding the boarding pass issue with a judge in Barcelona who has ruled against the airline. Details on the Ryanair website.

The council said the tax helped improve the airport which was expected to see more passengers in the long term.

Today Easyjet said its winter lose is expected to be double that from last time in part due to higher fuel costs and lower spending on extras. Their shares dropped 16%.
FR will report the latest quarters results on the 31st. It is likely the fuel outlook will be grim for the airline.
