What is significant is that so few of the routes involve the UK, hardly surprising when every other economy is growing faster than ours.
It will also be interesting to see whether any routes are being dropped. No airline makes any noise about those...

#cosbrexit?
I would say the UK loco market is now mature, the capacity for the same levels of growth just isn't there. That's not a bad thing either.

News which does, or doesn't, merit posting here....
https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2017/...yanair-pilots/
Given that it is almost 3 months since this decision, of the utmost interest to the community to whom this website is apparently addressed, in my considered opinion,the fact that it has not yet been posted, still less discussed, intrigues me.

There are no grounds to infer a lack of confidence in the UK market from those new route announcements. They relate to bases which are already well-connected with U.K. airports. So they can't be presented as new routes. That doesn't mean frequencies can't be increased on those UK routes though. So no conclusions on brexit to be drawn here.

It is indeed surprising that no Irish posters posted it. Since I don't think it was picked up by the UK media, there's no way that we would have come across the case.

Ryanair are rumoured to be in talks about restarting from Manston with a 3/4 a/c base, assuming the bid to make it a cargo airport are successful.
Not sure which part is the crazier, but Ryanair haven't particularly denied it, just a bog standard rely: "While we are always interested in new routes, we don't comment on rumour or speculation."
Anyone think this could work?

Manston
Ryanair would be MSE’s only option in my view for pax operations. It is about the only airline left that could offer the airport a glimmer of hope, that’s IF it ever reopened. Ryanair are very good at stimulating traffic at airports so far from anywhere.
My only reservation would be that before the terminal opened at BOH were they too not promised multiple based airframes?

Look, EUJet and Flybe gave Manston a shot and failed ... Not so far from Manston is EZY's largest operasting base of LGW, the other side of the Dartford there is RYR & EZY at STN, ditto for LTN, the best hope for Manston is they develop a maintenance base such as CWL has done, even Lasham has done, I read a recent comment that NQY might be turning itself around with some none scheduled service activities, but RYR and Manston ... Now there's a laugh

Operation out of (Frankfurt) Hahn will be further reduced. Down to 4 based aircraft next summer with Porto, Treviso, Valencia, Zadar and Plovdiv to be axed. All except Plovdiv operated out of Frankfurt (Main).

Timisoara base will be closed - BGY-TSR and OTP-TSR to remain, all other routes to be axed.

Ouch. 10 years ago HHN had 8/9 a/c with plans for a new terminal and 20 a/c within a few years. Hotels sprung up at the airport. Bus services, taxi services, restaurants, cap parks. RYR brings a/c and jobs to your community. We shall bring 500,000 pax per a/c and 00's of jobs.
So how many jobs are they on the scrap heap as they leave? There are 2 sides to every coin, but only one it trumpeted. Cynical? Yep. The hoteliers will go bust and the bus services will struggle etc. etc.

You can't blame Ryanair. Hahn management should have looked to diversify their airline portfolio. It isn't a smart business strategy to bank all hopes on one airline, especially one that is known for axing routes at a moment's notice.

It has gone very quiet at Glasgow for many things like no passenger figures yet published for Jan, new management team at AGS so we can look at no news is good news or the .... has hit the fan and Ryanair drastically reducing routes. Though it’s not just DUB, LDY has been confirmed!

So with TSR, Wizz Air wins another battle.
There is also evidence that Ryanair are struggling in Bulgaria. Sofia appears to be one of the weakest bases, flights to Plovdiv are being scaled back (again), and it is not clear if Burgas will operate as a base next winter.
