Ryanair-10
Anyone able to say when the summer 2019 schedule will be released in full ? In 2017 I think the schedule for S18 came out at the end of August 2017. Barring ski destinations, most seasonal routes are summer only. Once the schedule for S19 is out it's usually the most effective way to decide which routes are being cut without having to decipher various pieces of marketing spin....
Yes, I know Brexit will happen at the very start of S19...

Also believe that like many businesses that a Brexit clause will be intriduced such that if as a result of Brexit the airline is no longer able to fly from UK then money is refunded and EU261 will not apply.

I can see airlines holding on this for a couple of months due to Brexit concerns.

Do we know how many routes and aircraft RYR have added since suggesting they would pull a lot of UK services after 31st mar 2019
Expansion has been insatiable since BREXIT vote .

Expansion has been insatiable, has it? They're about to abandon Glasgow. I would suggest that, on the contrary, growth has been slower than for many years. Even taking their whole operation, excluding Laudamotion, their growth is barely half that of 12 months ago.

They’re not abandoning GLA, who said that? They’re closing the crew base and operating inbound sectors on DUB-GLA. STN-GLA is dropped again but they use this to pile pressure and punish airports who don’t give them the terms they want. They will no doubt operate a few inbound flights for next summer and I suspect LDY will return.
If they were actually giving up on GLA, DUB-PIK would be back and GLA dropped. This is a ploy, and fair play, is business.
Growth will slow, of course it will, it’s a mature market now and the volume of untapped new opportunities is a lot smaller.

I was indulging in a bit of hyperbole. But their growth has certainly slowed greatly. Since they don't, obviously, release details of traffic by geographical area, we have no idea whether there is any growth on routes involving the UK.

But this has to do with aircraft availability as 2015-2016 the constraint was numbers of available aircraft.
Once more became available there was a surge in new routes.
Also believed they lost at least 1 Million from last Sept because of pilot shortages.
In the year to August PAX numbers grew by 7% (8.3 Million) .v 13% ( 14.3 Million) in previous year.
At this rate it is likely to be 150 Annual in June 2020.

Looks like using aircraft based elsewhere. Seems such a strange move but maybe it was to do relocating the Crew Base and employment law. Tagged in the small print reductions at PIK

Strange how succesful Ryanair became with Zero input from Balpa.

After reading your comments I went back to check the flight history of EI-EKT and It was the same for customers from Newcastle, Stansted and Hamburg on it's previous return trips.
I can now see why people are moving to Jet-2. It looks like Ryanair have lost their grip on reality.
