SOE - bulk or no bulk, a tech stop still adds a huge amount to the cost base, and it is a major disadvantage to customers. The longer the journey, the less MOL can gain by bartering down airport costs, even on a point-to-point service.

I would have thought BGR would be a more likely destination in its own right - but its core appeal would be during the fall, which wouldn't fit in well with other rosters, so I don't see it happening. It might have limited appeal for people wanting to pick up a car and drive across the US, or perhaps as a BOS North, but I don't think we're talking daily service.

Could DUB or SNN - BOS or YYZ be managed on a 738, in a mix of biz & econ, or would this be out of range?

If Ryanair do this I cant see a fuel stop on a small 737 working, You need big A/C full of passengers paying alot less than the normal Transatlantic fare.
On another note a Niagra Falls service would be nice.

KLM

JSCL

Something tells me that Ryanair might require more than 44 seats.

Quote from the Privitair website

In October 2005, PrivatAir commenced operation of a six-days-a-week, business-class-only service between Amsterdam and Houston on behalf of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, using a 44-seat Boeing Business Jet.

Swiss also use them from Zurich but I believe that some of these routes are changing soon.

Ljubljana Airport has begun talks with the low cost airline Ryanair in fear that Slovenia’s biggest airport will suffer as a result of Adria Airways’ plan to cut up to a third of its flights from the Slovenian capital.

The negotiations with LJU airport are still under way. If finalized, we can expect flights there beginning from end March (not earlier, unfortunately, but the Alps are beautiful also in Summer). Under discussion are routes from NRN, RYG, CIA, MAD and one or two UK routes.

With regards to LJU i will have to youtube coachtrip to get some info on the city.

Low fares

Can anyone tell me if the UK website will ever change back to showing the fare instead of just saying low fares available ?
It is going on abit to long to be just a tech issue.

BTW... Nice to hear that LCA will be new base .

Airborne

From Wikipedia....

The 737-900ER, which was called the 737-900X prior to launch, is the newest addition and the largest variant of the Boeing 737 line and was introduced to meet the range and passenger capacity of the discontinued 757-200.

An additional pair of exit doors and a flat rear pressure bulkhead increase seating capacity to 180 passengers in a 2-class configuration or 215 passengers in a single-class layout.

If a 757 can cross the pond, why cant this aircraft?
Ignoring wikipedia, and looking at Boeing website here
Boeing: Commercial Airplanes - 737 - Range Charts
gives you the definitive answer.

Cant see of a reason for them to stop EMA-SVQ, loads have been pretty good and other restrictions are extremely low. i.e slots

Cant see of a reason for them to stop... (whatever)
The problem is they do it quite often and indeed, different routes end with no obvious reason. There is nothing you can do about it, apparently. Need some examples? Tampere - Malaga stopping in October, for instance. For many Europeans +15 degrees in Malaga in November it's just nothing very attractive, no reason to travel there. For us Finns it's a lovely chance to take a break and relief. During such a period we would pay much to flee from depressing darkness and chilly autumn weather. But... surprise, surprise, that's when the flights just end. Possibly the lack of insight as a reason for that.

Malaga in November

May I point out pee that Malaga is a damn sight warmer than the plus15 degrees you are suggesting in November - on average 20 deg I should know I live on the coast! Cannot understand Ryanair dropping the Tampere route as we get a lot of Scandahooligans (local joke) here in the winter to get away from the cold weather and dark days and play a lot of golf etc.
Cheers C3B
