They started last minute promotions to achieve loads in winter. Like Weeze to Canary Islands for 30 eur return to fly in a few days as seen couple of weeks ago. In the past there were no very cheap fares on very short notice.
Even the main promotion now runs for flights in January instead of March or February as one would expect in the past at this time of the year.

They are now focussed on load factors, even if it means selling last minute seats at lower prices than they would have in the past.
The cheap Canary Islands flights are not unique to Ryanair. There is great overcapacity in flights, but huge under capacity in hotels on the islands. Very hard to sell last minute tickets at any prices when people cannot find a place to stay.

In fact Ryanair chose not to divert flights to Kaunas but not to fly Vilnius schedule at all for whole months of July and August. Vilnius will be closed from July 14 to August 18 only and all other airlines decided relocate to Kaunas during that time.

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (12 Jan) announced a new growth deal with Manchester Airports Group (MAG) which will deliver 9 new London Stansted routes, including a daily service to Naples and a three times daily service to Copenhagen, as well as routes to Beziers, Cagliari, Clermont, Grenoble, Nice, Nimes and Strasbourg, extra flights on 13 existing routes, and over 20m customers p.a., supporting 15,000* jobs at London Stansted Airport. - See more at: Welcome to Ryanair!
Maybe I'm going a bit soft in the head, but this list of new STN routes does not impress - it seems to be largely reopening old routes, moving routes from LTN to STN and wanting to compete with other airlines on existing fat routes.
Could we have just a little bit of the old Ryanair back with routes to airports I didn't know existed please ?

I get where your coming from but a new route new or old or transferred from another airport is still good news
I would have liked to seen TLV or maybe something outside the box live Cape Verde but anything is a bonus and will all add to Stansted passenger growth

Hi gents
Anyone knows why ryr won't give a release letter/reference directly to those pilots who resigned?
They want my (soon to be) new company to write a request, and only then they will send all the paperwork related to me.
Can they do it? I'm considering a chat with a lawyer.

O'Leary said in May:
"Let me put it simply, if Britain isn't a member of the EU these investments, these jobs will be going to other countries."
O'Brien revealed that Ryanair has taken the "prudent" decision to only expand UK capacity by 7% this year,

References are normally requested to the company, it is not normal to have a letter in hand. This is true for non-aviation jobs and aviation jobs alike. If I was interested in hiring someone and they produced a letter from their previous employer....my first thought would be ...Yea right....and I would then contact the employer directly.

If you are a so-called self-employed contractor then your own company can write your reference. Asking a customer to write a review is more like Trip Advisor.

If the contract of employment does not proclude it and if there are no company wide employee / employer 'documented and communicated' procedures around this then you potential have a legal argument. Speak to your solicitor. An employer must act with reasonableness and transparency.

Perhaps Ryanair's post-Brexit sentiment has now been tempered with a dose of reality.
In May there were many things we didn't know: which way the vote would turn out, the effect on £ versus Euro, Marmite-gate!! :-) & probably key here, the launch of a Jet2 base at STN.
Now I am pretty sure that Ryanair are not completely daft. They will know that spare slots at London airports (especially I believe night slots) will be becoming scarce. So what would you do?? Stick to your original rhetoric or make what to them is a sensible commercial decision: try & protect future growth by jumping back in to the growth programme.
I find the decsion to grow at LBA more interesting. Is that a tit for tat expansion because Jet2 are setting up shop in STN? Or has the airport maybe sweetened the deal to encourage them to grow?
Of course, MAG may well have opted to do a similar thing.
Whatever the reason - 8 months is a long time in politics (& business.)
A comment about lack of growth may well have been a throw away line at the time. Post-Brexit however, it may have become a means to start a process to secure better commercial terms at airports in the UK. Maybe these deals are proof that it's working!

If you leave an employer your next employer MAY make a request for a reference from a previous employer.
Reality is that as a result of legal claims because an employer said what they wanted to say an employer is under restictions on what they can say.
Many employer references now just indicate
"John / Jane Doe was employed by X Company from April 1st 2010 to December 31st 2015."
That is it because it is FACTUAL.
As for Personnel records on what an employee did during the time at a company they are owned by the company not employee.
