Was ment to fly MAN/BCN today at 06:25 but the flight was canx yesterday afternoon. There was no explanation on the txt message or e mail, but went to the airport to talk to swissport Ryanair desk people. The very kind lady told me it was due to French atc. Just asking why this flight was the only one from MAN that seemed to be cut.
Thanks Sam

AerRyan: I think sparkysam suggested the flight had been cancelled the afternoon/day before in anticipation of disruption. But why only this flight?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe in times of planned mass disruption Eurocontrol asks airlines to cancel a number or percentage of flights as to alleviate some slots. Some airlines cancel a little early than others.
Also it is likely to be a big picture cancellation. Maybe that aircraft or crew can be used more effectively later in the to minimise the total disruption

Further to my post No.3131 in this thread dating back to mid-March, I am pleased to confirm that the website issue which prevented new-look Ryanair boarding cards printing via the Apple Safari browser has now been resolved. My compliments to whoever was responsible for the fix. Really helpful to me as a Ryanair frequent-flyer. And no doubt helpful to many other individuals and businesses as well for whom Apple is the IT solution of choice. Well done to all concerned.

Ryanair: 'To focus growth on European Union' - BBC News
Ryanair will not deploy new aircraft on routes to and from the UK next year, following the Brexit vote, and will instead focus on the European Union.
The Irish low-cost airline, will "pivot all of our growth into the European Union," chief executive Michael O'Leary told the Wall Street Journal.
Ryanair carries more than 100 million passengers a year and UK routes account for 40 million of those travellers.
Ryanair has its largest hub at London's Stansted Airport.
The airline's shares have fallen more than 23% since the United Kingdom voted on Thursday to leave the European Union.
Mr O'Leary, one of the most vocal business leaders campaigning in favour of continued EU membership, had repeatedly warned he would cut investment in Britain if it voted to leave.
He said the airline's overall growth targets remained unchanged.
Mr O'Leary said he expected three or four months of "considerable uncertainty" due to the British vote, but forecast a limited impact on near-term bookings to and from Britain.

So more growth into a part of the world that finds it difficult to grow...Spain as an example has 50% youth unemployment and it goes from that. Foot stamping from O'Leary followed by smoke and mirrors..at least he's entertaining bless him and always getting better to boot

O'Leary has played the part of the playground bully for years and is wrapped up in his own self importance. I don't think anyone will be losing any sleep, not even MAG.

As Predicted in April, reports in the Polish press of Ryanair applying for slots for moving some business routes from Warsaw Modlin to Warsaw Chopin in response to the changing bigger picture in relation to airport ownership in Poland to take it to Polish State Airports and LOT.
It appears any expansion of Modlin Airport will be delayed now (which suits PPL and LOT perfectly), so this appears to be a response to that fact although the slots have not yet been granted and I can't imagine Ryanair are going to be welcomed at Chopin with open arms, although it's difficult to see how PPL will be able to deny them the slots just because it is Ryanair.
