Pau changing to Tarbes

Air France will be happy - they departed Pau to Orly by the same time FR went to BVA. AF was flying seats, FR was flying passengers (a lot of!).

However - travelling distance from Pau to Tarbes is quite short, less than average FR passengers are used to.
Maybe FR is going to call it Lourdes/Tarbes-Pau East.

The route BVA-PUF was to be done by a Cagliari based aircraft in summer, the gap is likely to be filled with one of the new southern french destinations from BVA.

It's a clever-ish way of representing the fleet as an owned assset without explicitly stating it as such. Now of course anyone with a business background will see through that but most people will go "Blimey, cash in the bank!". Which it's not.
Nope it is stating VALUE and even then not qualified value, ownership is not mentioned. Its a PR release NOT a statement to a Bank, Stock Exchange or Investor.

Ryanair loves spining the value of its planes but over the next few years they will become a dead weight.

The traffic numbers are out for Feb. Easyjet adds 13% more pax and fills 87% of seats, FR adds just under 5% and sells only 76% of its seats. it looks like FR had about 25% of its fleet grounded last month for most of each week. That is a few billion euros of assets not working for shareholders.

racedo you are of course correct in what you say, the overall impression that the message gives is subtly different, Joe Public hears it in a simpler way.

Sorry Joe !

It very much depends on which 25% you talk about. That is a few billion euros of assets not working for shareholders.

If those are ones that are directly owned by Ryanair then really they're losing less money sat there than in the sky as MOL has said on many occasions.

The traffic numbers are out for Feb. Easyjet adds 13% more pax and fills 87% of seats, FR adds just under 5% and sells only 76% of its seats.
easyJet does seem to have the more sustainable business product and IMO chose the right aircraft size in the A319. Now they've added the A320 to add more flexibility to the schedule which can only be of benefit, certainly during the summer in and out of AGP, ALC etc.

Ryanair check in

Be very careful of the above advice - Ryanair check in is on line and must be done at least 4 hours before departure.

check in closes 4 hours before departure but this is done on line and normaly from home.
If you have bags to check in then you will need to be there to drop them into bag drop at least 40 minutes before departure.
If you only have hand bagage, you just go straight through security and must be at the departure gate at least 20 minutes before departure.

Little off topic...

I was wondering if anyone can help me...

I need to write a report on Ryanair for a bit of coursework. Would anyone be able to tell me where I can get load factors for Ryanair flights and a comparison with other airlines on the same routes. Preferably ones where the FR LF is far greater than the other airline.

Cheers.

Figures might be quite difficult to compare

I understand that Ryanair include no-shows in their published load factors

All is not happy in Spain

Ryanair may reduce flights from Alciante from October because of a dispute. Airlines will have to install passenger boarding bridges in the new Terminal. Ticket prices will also rise as a result.

Ryanair threatens to reduce operations at Alicante Airport

Problems in Gran Canaria with the new airport computer system. Ryanair have said they will close the base within months in the problem isn't resolved.

Regarding the argument to raise prices for using the airbridges, is as improbable as keep an eye on the prices of the routes from Madrid (where they operate with airbridges) and prices from Alicante. According to this reason, the basis of Madrid should be a major economic losses.

Ryanair talks Chinese, Russian jets after falling out with Boeing

Ryanair talks Chinese, Russian jets after falling out with Boeing

Ryanair talks Chinese, Russian jets after falling out with Boeing

I'm sure its a bit of brinkmanship on behalf of Ryanair. I had a laugh anyway.

Ryanair, Europe's biggest low-cost airline, has launched talks with Russian and Chinese aircraft manufacturers about supplying the carrier with new planes, Ryanair head Michael O'Leary said yesterday.

The Irish airline currently flies only Boeing 737 jets but it broke off negotiations with the US firm on a massive new plane order in late 2009 because the two sides could not agree on terms and conditions.

Russia's United Aircraft and China's Comac have provided jets mostly to their domestic carriers and are largely untested in Western markets, where Boeing and European rival Airbus dominate the market.

"We have just started talks with the Russian and the Chinese. There is nothing to update on that at the moment," O'Leary told a news conference in Madrid.

United Aircraft Corp. is developing a medium range jet that can seat between 150 and 212 passengers called the MS-21 that will compete with Boeing's 737 and Airbus' A320 and which has already been ordered by Russia's Aeroflot.
Comac is working on a similar single-aisle passenger jet called the C919.

Both are expected to be introduced after 2014.
Ryanair, which operates more than 1500 flights a day, expects to carry around 73.5 million passengers in the fiscal year ending March 2011.

I wish them well, however....as one Russian new type crashed just awhile ago, I expect passengers will not be amused.
MOL seems to get more 'strange' every day....ready for the rubber room perhaps?

He should team up with Gadaffi, who may soon have a few unused jets going. I think there is some potential there :

Fly Ryanair from your closest military airport in a Sukhoi fighter direct to your destination.
Land as close as you want to your destination with Ryanair's new ejector seat service.
Flights from 0.99.

Ejector seats, safety harnesses, fuel, ammunition, pilot, overflying fees, UN sanctions charges not included
