Just came a new base announcement. From the start of Summer season 2017, two aircraft will be based in PRG. Seven routes, including two new ones to LPL and TPS.
The next base announcement could be in (beware of spelling
) Polish cities Rzeszów and/or Szczecin.

The next chapter of Ryanair Vs Polish State Airports and LOT is now playing out and it's happening pretty much as I predicted earlier in the year.
For previous chapters in this particular story check

There is still continued talk about Polish State airports buying a majority stake in Modlin Airport, and recently the Chairman of Modlin Airport has resigned, over what is said to be plans to allow this to happen, to be replaced by an Ex LOT official who is said to be very much pro these plans and dragging his heels over any expansion plans.
In response Ryanair is now going to up domestic routes at Chopin Airport to try and hit LOT where it hurts and Michael O'Leary is now promising to fund the expansion of Modlin Airport itself, because they are (rightly) worried that the whole new chairman and ownership approach is an attempt to stifle growth at Modlin to protect LOT at Chopin Airport.
O'Leary's idea of funding the airport probably has no real prospect of happening, however it is most likely a deliberate publicity stunt to try and call out the excuse that the funding isn't available to expand Modlin which is currently being portrayed as the case.

London schedule just two new routes
Welcome to Ryanair!
Welcome to Ryanair!
I wouldn't call Stansted-Strasbourg new - Ryanair were flying the route in summer 2013
I'm a little surprised to see that Stansted-Oslo Torp is back for summer 2017. Stansted-Oslo Rygge ends at the end of October 2016 and I thought STN-TRF would also end to make way for Stansted-Oslo Gardemoen
Stansted-Ponta Delgada returns as a seasonal for summer 2017 - I'm guessing marketing support is involved
Pescara seems to have pulled a financial rabbit out of the hat to keep STN-PSR
Stansted-Deauville seems to end in October 2016.
Finally, Stansted-Parma seems to be terminating - had thought this route would do ok over the summer months but am clearly mistaken

BHX-PMI and BHX-IBZ
Something funny going on with these two routes.
Ibiza is 3 weekly this summer but just 2 weekly flights were showing in the S17 timetable before the press release was made announcing that it would increase to 6 weekly (obviously in response to Jet2 who will also be 6 weekly). But the timetable is still showing just 2 weekly flights, even while other routes are being updated.
PMI which was due to increase from 9 to 11 weekly is the other route which has yet to see the announced additional flights loaded into the timetable.

BHX
jfy1999
The BHX 2017 schedule I imagine was put together pre-Brexit and in the past Ryanair have never released summer bookings this early but it has backfired as it has undergone many changes already.
The original was clearly 5 based aircraft as certain days the schedule was maxed out. Then post-Brexit it was stated no further UK base expansion in the short-term and low and behold mass time changes and back to four based but a BHX Ryanair record of 13 away based flights on a Tuesday at peak and over 10 on other days.
There might be a change of heart on Palma & Ibiza although it could be a case of just fitting in the flights from the Baleric bases.
As long as they operate BHX won't be complaining as I am sure an aircraft departing at 10am rather than 7am will help the flow of passengers through the terminal.
I have flown at both those times this summer and difference is astonishing although the airport was coping at 7am it was a totally different experience.

Ryanair may return to Vitoria, Spain. Might be announced this week previous routes were STN between 2005-2007 and DUB in 2007.
Also appears FR couldn't get an agreement with MAG and STN about a growth scheme for 2017 hence no major growth planned. The 3% DUB cuts appear to be a case of the daa not confirming if the existing growth scheme will operate in 2017 however some could be made up through new routes from Europe.

No room st the inn at stansted until the echo apron and pier four are completed.
The airport is just about at capacity overnight so the logical thing for FR expansion would be other base aircraft flying in after the first wave departs.
Less about Brexit and more about no where to park any extra aircraft at stansted overnight

Ryanair already does a lot of this. They base fewer aircraft overnight at STN than they have done in the past but far more aircraft based overseas come in as the first wave goes out. Look at the STN arrivals/departure boards for tomorrow morning and you'll see how many come in first thing on turnarounds.
There is still a fair bit of unused remote parking and if you've been through STN lately you may have noticed some new gate signage for Gate numbers 90 - 93 which are in a separate area and used specifically for bussing passengers out to these remote stands.

MAN has the same problem with T3 parking for based a/c and has quite a high percentage of RYR flights with non-based a/c. We don't yet know RYR's plans for S2017 apart from Irish and Italy routes that have been loaded.

FR
That will keep blondie and her little worker ants happy. Different routes for sure, good additions.
My mate is a travel agent and received a competition last week basically asking where FR didn't fly - woops!! EDI seem a lot more focused on message
