Ryanair have recently expanded greatly at NCL. They added the 3 Polish routes after Brexit vote result.

The three new polish destinations were announced on 27/04/2016, though they didn't start till the winter season (i.e. post Brexit vote), though yes the recent growth at NCL has been good. Sure I looked recently and nobody doing NCL-PMI this winter?

[HeartyMeatballs]

They could have easily pulled the route if they weren't selling. So, despite Brexit, Ryanair decided to keep the routes.

I know a few people who have done Gdansk. A good cheap weekend away was the opinion. A good bit of history. Good amount of English spoken. My dear other meatball tried to get us there for the weekend in spring but the times wouldn't quite work out. It was ghastly coming back. Not my idea of a holiday to get up at 0400 to come home but it's on the list for another time.

There are no direct flights to PMI from NCL in the winter, hence why Ryanair or EasyJet could try a 2 weekly service. If no good, then keep it to summer only.

It is getting hard to follow what is an announcement and what is a re-announcement.

[racedo]

Lots of new aircraft that need places to fly to........................... reckon in 2018 they will look to acquire some slots at LHR, just to stir things up a bit.

I didn't realise Ryanair were re-furbishing their aircraft... Does anyone know what the refurbishment includes/looks like?


Getting back to Winter 17/18 schedule... Does anyone know when the routes go on sale? Currently not bookable on the ones I've tried so far.

Thanks,

Interesting choices some of those! I wonder if they will carry on doing flights on matching routes from Glasgow?

[inOban]

Interesting, I agree. Of the 13, 4 are already served from EDI by either Jet2 or Easyjet, and 2 from GLA by Wizz or by Ryanair themselves, and another in the summer from Prestwick, I think. I am sceptical about some of these destinations providing enough PAX to fill a 737_800 in the long run.

Make a threat there ain't no hiding place.

Curious why FBI not involved as this is Terrorism and Extortion.

Nope giving them the incentive.

In 2009 Canary Island dropped the APD after seeing PAX numbers drop from 33.8 M to 29.8 Million, Ryanair led the campaign to get rid of the tax with the we will fly more people in.

It 2016 the airports handled 40.2 Million passengers.

Now it would have probably increased anyway but 11 Million more people than in 2009 even suggesting an average spend of €200 on Accomodation, Food and everything else has provided a lot more jobs than an airport tax.

Politicians get a clear choice, tax and we happy to move the aircraft elsewhere.

[inOban]

Yes, but the holiday PAX from Scotland is still overwhelmingly outbound, so these flights are taking money out of the economy. We've all read the stories of the friends who met up in Malaga because it was cheaper than meeting in the UK.

And the ScoGov is legally committed to reducing CO2 emissions from transport, although it shows no signs of delivering on this. Allowing rampant growth in air emissions will mean that the rest of the population will have to use even less.

or the increase could be nothing to do with airport tax and everything to do with people felling safer in the Canaries than Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, etc

There is some of that because pax were 35 million in 2015, however the increase in Pax numbers 2009-2015 gave the Govt way more than an airport tax ever could.

Problem with a €10-15 airport tax is that it doesn't create a single job within the airport be it security / shops / handling / coffee shops. Nor does it create a single job in the hotels / resorts / restaurants that need people to come and spend money.

Reckon we spend €1500 when we were there.

I believe Irish Govt had a similar viewpoint on an APD until Aer Lingus / Ryanair made it clear change it and we will add flights. The Pax number increases into Dublin show how valid that strategy was.

As has been proven by small airports again and again across EU, get LCCs like Ryanair flying in and job numbers go up not just in airport but right across the region.
Tourism is the easiest sector of the economy to grow jobs in.

Anyone reckon FR will ever be seen in IOM ?

[willy wombat]

We discussed Scottish APD recently on the Prestwick thread and as was pointed out by a number of people, the growth at EDI and GLA is so strong at the moment that there would be no point on cutting APD.
