Ryanair - 9

[eu01]

Absolutely looks like a LIS base.

Speculating about new bases, huh? Look at this: starting on April 2nd...

(daily)
Warsaw Modlin 12:10 - Gdansk 12:55
Gdansk 13:20 - Warsaw Modlin 14:10
Warsaw Modlin 15:00 - Wroclaw 15:55
Wroclaw 16:20 - Warsaw Modlin 17:20

Logically: where this aircraft could actually be based? GDN has no based aircrafts, WRO has, but it's not coming from there. A "double W-pattern"? Don't think so. Two different aircraft making separate W-patterns? Quite unlikely, they don't fit into any existing schedules. So my guesswork's conclusion: it will be a Modlin based aircraft, doing something in the morning, going to Gdansk and back, at 15:00 after a standard 50 min. crew change performing WRO rotation.

In fact I've noticed it a few weeks ago, I'm apparently too old to become excited by that kind of observation, but if you speculate... here we go.

Thanks - I noticed it last year - but my (somewhat) cursory search of S of France events didn't show Mipim -Thanks

[racedo]

It would suggest 2 different aircraft given departure times..........

Later one is Rygge and think earlier one is Stansted.

[eu01]

@racedo. Are you pertaining to my post? No, that doesn't fit.

@racedo. Are you pertaining to my post? No, that doesn't fit.

Rygge aircraft lands 14.10 and departs 17.40 which fits just for later flight.
Other assumming Daily service and Stansted looks odd in terms of timings but could also be Skavsta.

[FRatSTN]

I've got lost with this now but having just looked I can tell that other than the Mon, Wed and Fri services to/from Skavsta which do a W pattern to Beauvais in between, there is currently no sign of any W patterns at Modlin.

It would seem there is potentially a based aircraft that goes to Gdansk and back with a 50 minute turnaround at Modlin before going to Wroclaw. In which case I imagine there would be many new routes to come.

Alternatively there might be a new route or just a change in the schedules from another base which arrives in Modlin say around 11:45 and does the Gdansk and Wroclaw services before returning to it's base at say 17:45. That would be like a "double W pattern" so to speak so kind of doubt that will happen.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Also I just found this Regarding the Liverpool to Lublin route on the Lublin Airport website:

"Flights from Lublin to Liverpool are very popular among the passengers. The average number of sold seats is 90%, therefore we are suprised by the carrier's decision to suspend the flights for the winter", says Krzysztof Wojtowicz, President of Lublin Airport.

Ryanair promises to resume flights to Liverpool and extend the services from Lublin Airport as from the summer of 2014.

Manchester-tours and Manchester - Katowice also dropped for 2014

[boyzinblue]

Ryanair have also now confirmed that Leipzig/Hallo will lose Rom, Pisa, Faro, Malaga and Trapani for S14. London is the only route to survive. FR blame the cuts on insufficient aircraft availability, insisting they were very happy with the performance of the routes!! Funny that you then cut them, to try new routes. I do not believe this current strategy of route cutting is wise, since when (if) FR return to these airports they have to rebuild their customer base again.

This is somewhat puzzling re the STN element !

London Heathrow Says Tougher Fee Cap to Weigh on Spending Plans - Bloomberg

The airline committed to boosting passenger numbers there by 50 percent to more than 20 million over 10 years after agreeing on terms for growth with new owner Manchester Airports Group


Ryanair Holdings Plc (RYA) slammed a decision to scrap price regulation at London Stansted.

I thought MAG had agreed a "low price" deal based on guaranteed delivery by RYR, but this seems to suggest that MAG can introduce price hikes at will ?

[insuindi]

I am fairly certain that Ryanair will not return to all of these airports with the same routes next year "when the planes are there".

[racedo]

I am fairly certain that Ryanair will not return to all of these airports with the same routes next year "when the planes are there".

10% would probably be dropped anyway as route recycling goes on but likely majority would return.

Ryanair and Google are jointly working on top-secret plans in a bid to completely transform how consumers search for, select and buy airline tickets.

In a wide ranging interview with the Sunday Independent, O'Leary said the partnership with Google would change the way people buy tickets forever.
"There are some very exciting developments with Google, where we have been working with them on sharing the pricing," O'Leary said.
"We'll be sharing the Ryanair pricing through all of the Google outlets, so when you go in, there'll be route selections, cheapest prices and so on. "They want to launch with us and we're working with them on that kind of product".

O'Leary expects the project to go live by the end of March.

[davidjohnson6]

Slightly confused on scope. Will Google be just a distribution mechanism, showing the same prices as the FR website, or will Google be more integrated to show different prices based on one's Google+ profile and purchasing history ?

An example of this is found in some retailers in N America. If you walk in off the street as a complete stranger, prices displayed are high. Sign up for a store chain loyalty card and agree to being sent 'useful marketing messages', and the more you shop, the lower the prices, thus locking in customer loyalty. Part of this of course involves the retailer being able to 'monetise' the data about you and not just your purchasing history but also details of any product enquiries you may have made.

If the price displayed to the customer is substantiallyaffected by web browsing / purchasing / Facebook / Google+ history, then Ryanair need to be very careful - Ryanair may end up doing the commoditised low-profit-margin high-commercial-risk flying while more of the value in the airline business accrues to Google. I do not believe Ryanair are remotely capable on their own of making use of the value of big data / data science.
