Cancelled orders or cancelled options?
There's a big difference between cancelled orders and cancelled options. I wonder if the linked article has made a mistake?
Ryanair's 2005 order was for 70 firm + 70 options. As I recall, the options are either confirmed or cancelled on a rolling basis. In the past some options have been exercised, whilst others have been cancelled. I could be wrong, but I suspect this is what has happened here.

BFS/BHD
Has anyone heard of RYR making a return to one of the Belfast airports? Seems to be doing the rounds atm, but just wondering if there is any substance to these stories?

ryanair have been TOLD by Spain (along with all other airlines) to allow people to carry airport purchases and duty free as a separate bag if they wish to rather than having to force them into the one they have.
This is beneficial to the passenger but there's simply no room in overhead bins for all the junk....any thoughts??

Doubtful at BHD as Servisair are planning redundancies for ground-staff and despatchers, due to the loss of FR and soon EZY. If any new carriers had been muted to be starting soon, you think Servisair would hold off, to stop having the recruiting expense again in the very near future, and the loss of trained experienced staff.
Hoping to get enough through voluntary, but compulsory redundancies have not been ruled out. My contact tells me the atmosphere is horrendous at the minute.

This would cause havoc though as those on the plane first would load the overhead bins, and then when the aircraft is over half boarded, the over head bins would be at capacity and passengers would have to put there small suitcase and bags down and under the seat in front of them... this could make the plane heavier on the front than back and to enforce equal bags above and below would be so time consuming that turn arounds would be slower. I can never understand why there's always one or two people that make it too the boarding gate oblivous to the rules and then make a massive deal...

As for BHD could they let RYR in with the seat/movement restriction, do they have enough leway?

well if ryanair and other airlines, won't allow pax to purchase items in shops that mean extra carry on bags , how are the airports going to make any money, as such airlines (not just ryanair) want to pay as little as possible, it's pointless have shaopping malls in airports if nobody can use them, in turn airports will then have to cut back else where, and end up saying no to airlines demands, will this be another one where said airline spits its dummy out, as it is in alicante from october?

The ALC fiasco raises a question. Do airlines fly to:
a) where pax want to go?
b) where the airline gets the cheapest deal?
If so many routes are taken from ALC, but the pax still want to go there, the only option is to de-plane to a competitior. Is that good business practice; to force your customers into the arms of another?
At some places the 25 min turn-round is a non-starter anyway: Spain & Italy being obvious examples. Just another item of the SWA model that was adopted but applied under different conditions.

Spain gets 35 minute-50 minute turns (the latter becoming more frequent now in places like BCN where boarding is a nightmare) mainly due to use of airbridges/buses/taking more fuel etc. 25 minute turns feature more in the smaller spanish airports like GRO, REU and SDR due to always using steps. 25 minute turns are just doable as long as the PAX are out waiting on the ramp for the last minute of the security check.
Italy is impossible due to no fuelling and boarding allowed. Always rely on landing early in these places.

Rent on a street in a city centre is very expensive. Rent about 2 miles from the city centre is much cheaper. If you want to open a shopand you think you can get almost as many customers, it makes better sense to try to open the shop out of the centre.
Behaving the way customers want costs you money. Train the customers to behave in the way you want, and it can be much more profitable

An announcement will be made in the coming weeks. I don't think there is going to be 30 routes but Dublin looks set to be one of them.

Just like LCA, markets already served will be protected and no discounts will be given so if they want to operate routes to the UK then they will have to pay full charges.
Norway, Sweedan, Germany and Ireland are all being looked at as some have very few connections to Paphas and some no flights at all.
