Are Ryanair planning to operate from Bournemouth to Wraclaw again next summer ?
Nothing yet bookable but all the other routes are for sale from BOH although an exact mirror image for this year at the moment
Loads on the WRO route seemed to be quite high around the 85% load mid summer

I think this is what EI-BUD was referring to:
Yahoo News UK & Ireland - Latest World News & UK News Headlines
The article suggests that Ryanair has offered to feed Alitalia's long haul network with its short haul flights. If this was a sincere offer then it would suggest an interesting change in direction from Ryanair.

...but why would Ryanair offer such connecting flights with an other partner constantly rejecting any ideas of implementing connecting flights within its own network?
I would have very great difficulty in believing this was a sincere offer at normal co-operation between 2 airlines.
It's a bit like a tobacco company offering to sponsor sports events for children as long as they take place in an arena covered in cigarette adverts.
It is in Ryanair's interest to keep Alitalia alive but on a life support system. Still alive so Ryanair can claim they don't have a monopoly in Italy, but too weak to challenge Ryanair in any meaningful way. If you've ever seen a film of adult killer whales playing with baby seals, you'll know what I mean

So it would seem that given FR dipping its toe in the at BRU (BRU-FCO) and base at FCO and rumours of AMS, we can expect big shift of business orientated routes to city primary airports.... Me thinks a lot of primary airport will appear progressively....

BRU base confirmed. Significant enough too, 3 rotations a day to BCN for example

Looks to be aimed at Jetairfly (TUI) routes rather than the national carrier Brussels Airlines. I would have expected a flight to MAN for the business travellers from SNBA.

The announcement came as a total surprise to Brussels Airport, who were not aware of FR's plans (read: no slots have been applied for)

RYR attack on Brussel Airlines
Press conference of MOL "just now announcing a move to Brussels Zaventem , with routes competing with SN Brussels airlines ( like 4x a day to Barcelona ) and stating ": at half the price of Brussels airlines and if they lower their prices, we'll go lower than them."
Sounds like an attack on SN and a Strategy change for RYR

Alitalia rebuffs Ryanair collaboration offer - RTÉ News
""At hub airports in all developed countries, cooperation is avoided between hub carriers and low-cost airlines. It is not by chance that low-cost airlines find space and operate in small airports dozens of kilometres from the cities," it said."
These all the airports that Alitalia operate from as well

One can conclude that Ryanair does not have a particularly heavily discounted deal - clearly they rate the opportunity to go head-to-head with an expanding Vueling as being worth paying relatively high charges for.
