Ryanair's new mojo:
it seems that Ryanair will now include 'real' hubs on it's routes. These will replace the 'bus and fly' airports that put Ryanair on the map, albeit in strange locations. So the Charlerois, Weesps, Hahns and other destinations will lose out to the biggies, Brussels, Duesseldorf. Frankfurt etc. So the newspapers say anyway!
What price seat selection?.....

Kind of sensationalist stuff from them which is chasing newspaper headlines really.
Ryanair has no new aircraft in and has taken on a number of leased aircraft to ensure it meets Summer demand.

Racedo may have a point in that the article is a little sensationalised but as the saying goes 'no smoke without fire'. FR seem to be making non-trivial structural changes to their route network - as one of Europe's largest and most opportunistic airlines, such a significant change of business strategy is worthy of analysis and discussion

Hi, regarding the Flydubai 738's what will happen to the interior if they are repainting the exterior? Seems unusual for such a short spell, but will they have the Flydubai interior? Presumably with the TV's permanently off...

Although the numbers would have been less dramatic if the purely operational situation at Warsaw (explained in the article) had been excluded.
Don't worry, racedo, they aren't FR-bashing

Anna Aero can do as they like but feel that in this case they attempting to gain Media attention to themselves which is a pity as they normally good.
Adding in an airport which FR had zero control over made their analysis more newsworthy but nothing else.

It will be very interesting to see how the switch away from secondary airports to more main line airports impacts Ryanair's performance, the costs are likely to be higher and OTP will likely fall. If they can attract extra passengers at a higher price that will help, but there is still a long way to go to change many peoples perception of the Ryanair experience, justified or not.
Gate cut off times can be tricky in big airports and a standard STD -25 or -40 close the gate attitude, even if you can see someone running to make the flight approach will rankle and before someone ! points out that gate cut off times are shown on the booking form/ticket, real passengers have real lives and jobs that don't revolve around defending a particular airlines customer policies on Pprune
The other effect of taking your passengers into proper airports is they get to see how the likes of easyJet, Norwegian & Vueling deal with passengers from check in to gate.
It is good to see that Ryanair are trying to improve their product offering, ditto some of their employment T & C's it shows that the market is working

Ref the FlyDubai 738s at Stansted. I assume they are flown by Ryanair crews as they are being put on the Irish register? Are they to be dedicated to particular routes, or just treated as part of the based fleet with no differentiation?

I believe that the winter program from Bournemouth has been announced too.Not sure if it's the based aircraft or not but Tenerife, Malaga and Alicante are more than likely continuing through the winter.

Ryanair facing more French court action?
According to an article in Midi Libre, the French airline pilots' union SNPL has lodged a complaint against Ryanair for alleged continued evasion of French employment taxes and social charges in its operations from Marseille. As a result, searches were carried out at premises at Marseille airport earlier this week. This is a new court case: in a previous case, Ryanair was found guilty but is going through an appeal process. Don't hold your breath whilst waiting for a definitive outcome to either of these two cases: they are highly likely to end up in the European Court once the French system has been exhausted. Your grandchildren may live to see the eventual outcome ...

For the winter season the scheduled from Madrid to Paris-Beauvais is strange on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday ! The plane will leave Madrid at 0645 for an arrival at 0900 and the flight back is only at 2110 ??? do you have any exponation ????
I know that sometimes an aircraft is going to another destination before joining his base (PSA-BVA-VNO-BVA-PSA)
Is it the case for the MAD flight ??? it seems too long for a crew
