Ryanair

Milan-Bergamo still off sale except for Saturdays from January 2017... are they just going to keep it as a ski route from January-March 2017 and replace it with something else from September 2016-January 2017??

Nope, nothing else will arrive for winter 2016/17, that's the final schedule. That's the current plan anyway.

With the fifth flight to LGW in the autumn is this going to be a non based aircraft?
Timings show its Belfast based

Milan

BT travel supplement at the weekend was showing September flights to Lake Garda via Bergamo with Ryanair. Also have seen 3/4 day city breaks to Milan again using Ryanair from BFS

Seems you believe too much that comes from M'OL.

Look at this article from over a year ago : O'Leary no fool as Ryanair announces more routes from Shannon | The Clare People

So where are those routes from Shannon? Imagine, the great M'OL breaking a promise!



Ryanair adds five new Cork routes to eastern Europe

Apparently Ryanair replicated Wizz Air's exact routes because they wanted to lower prices, not to kick Wizz off the routes at all. Can you imagine also the ex Deputy CEO could also lie?
Its extremely unlikely that a third aircraft will be at BFS this winter.

Jet2 made some changes today for Winter 16/17.

- Lanzarote operates 2 weekly all winter. Think some weeks it was only 1 weekly.

- Tenerife operates 2 weekly most of the winter, only 1 weekly for 3 weeks from 20th Dec 16 to 3rd Jan 17.

- Alicante operates all winter. 1 to 3 weekly flights.

- Faro starts early in February 2017 at 2 weekly flights.

- Palma starts 1st week in March 2017.

Looks like they are getting ready for Ryanair!

Jet2 certainly seem to have no fears of Ryanair!

Think he may have a zero or two too many in that statement! If Aldergrove were to get 5000 new jobs alongside the other thousands that have been stated from the management team recently, that'll shut the job centres in Antrim anyway!

Out of curiosity, I wonder how many jobs are in place at Dublin airport?
