Ryanair - 9
I must be missing something here. I can't find any flights from MAN to BCN, except the two football specials in March. Nor are any of theproposed Las Palmas flights bookable.

I understand up to 30 September 2013 they made a profit of €59m after tax with €237m cash in the bank.
Domestic traffic was dropping (probably due to the financial disaster that is Greece) however by third quarter domestic pax numbers started increasing again, however international traffic is increasing faster.
Of course, I could have entirely misread their results...

Thank you.
Had a read and the stating that the Aqcuisition of Olympic will cause losses in last quarter. Guess it will be the integration of Olympic that will be challenge.
Funny EU allowing monopoly situation.........

racedo - I would encourage you to Google to read up on the Aegean - Olympic takeover / merger. I believe the rationale given was that Olympic was in such trouble that a refusal to permit integration with Aegean would have led to Olympic very likely ceasing to fly commercially in a substantial way.
I believe EU competition law permits merger of 2 companies with non-trivial market share when there is significant doubt as to whether one company is a going concern - a similiar logic prevailed with IAG / British Airways buying bmi. Aer Lingus seems to be in good health, showing no sign of major problems like bankruptcy so Ryanair is being denied permission to take over Aer Lingus. If Aer Lingus were to spend a few years losing a ton of money and looked like going bust, then MOL might get his way. Until then, MOL will have to just carry on with life.
I'm sure your buddies in Dublin will be able to stand on their own 2 feet when competing in Greece though

There have been some leaks concerning the new Dublin - St. Petersburg route. Most probably it will be flown from April onwards three times a week. The preliminary schedules suggest early departures from DUB (6:00 - 6:30 AM), the time of arrival in St. Petersburg just after 13:00 local time. The travel days would be Tue, Thu, Sat.

Aegean is a great little airline. Consistently profitable until the Greek meltdown happened, it’s already back in the black even though the economy is still a total mess. Add to that a terrific reputation for service and a string of awards. Not the sort of thing you associate with a Greek airline, I can only conclude that they are very well managed, and the few contacts I have with them suggests they have a strong and affirmative corporate culture.
Will be an interesting battle. It will hurt Aegean but I doubt it will cripple them

Autumn to now = Kenny Jacobs. Congrats
9 Appointments. importantly 8 of those are internal.
Always need new blood but too many destabilises and tells people internally they will not be considered for promotion.
Lesley Kane who was previously Head of Sales & Marketing is promoted to become Ryanair’s new Head of Groups & Corporate Sales.
- How is moving from head of sales+marketing to head of group/corporate sales a promotion ?
- With a network that is still heavily reliant on airports in leisure-focussed locations and areas with modest population density, how much potential is there really for significant amounts of corporate sales ? Or is this a coded way of reinforcing the message that the company wants to move much more towards primary airports ?
I hope I'm not being naive here, but this seemed a somewhat surprising announcement for 2 reasons:

"English passengers would not have behaved like this and the British plod would probably have arrested rather than negotiated with the lot of them."
I admire your view of "English passengers".
British police would have been quite unlikely to arrest the lot, an arrest requires 2-4 man hours, times half the pax on board, well...

Part of the problem is Ryanairs reputation, people are on edge from the minute they walking into the airport (it used to be the website, but that seems much better now?) its a shame because in terms of dealing with unplanned diversions FR are normally very good in this regard, but i suspect the passengers feared being dumped and left to fend for themselves based on the many Ryanair myths out there.

So French culture, Ryanair Myth/perceived historical reputation
Is CDG/ORY open at this time of day?
Put it another way Paris is a Capital city, if i was flying into any London airport that had a night curfew and they dropped me in Newcastle I'd be thinking it was for their convenience not mine, is Nantes a FR base?

Moron see, Moron do...................Nationality has SFA to do with it.
Ask the staff that were abused at Gatwick at Christmas by Pax if people behaved with stiff upper lip or as reported on here the Aer Lingus staff abused at Dub by pax when things were held up.
As for flying into CDG / ORY, your flight is going to Southend and can't land so lets just call LHR and tell them we want to land, right that should be a fun conversation.
