Rome (FCO/CIA) will get 2 more aircraft this summer - 17 in total. I assume FCO will be increased to put pressure on W6 there.

BGY will get a 23rd aircraft while MXP remains at 8

It seems quite certain that Ryanair will further expand in Italy:
- Trieste (TRS) to be announced tomorrow as their 18th base in the country
- Reggio Calabria (REG) to follow as the 19th (brand-new destination for FR) with the official announcement to happen within the next 2 weeks
- Olbia (OLB) to become their 3rd (seasonal) destination in Sardinia for domestic flights starting from S24.

Looks like Ryanair realise they need OTAs after all.

More Italian based aircraft if a condition of Lufthansa take over of ITA occurs
https://aviationweek.com/air-transpo...tra-rome-slots
Obviously if slots are released, no guarantee Ryanair get them, might even go to Easyjet or Wizzair.

The only thing I can see in the Valencian press today is a regurgitated Ryanair press release about 6 new routes and going from 2.8 million seats (seats, not necessarily pax) last year to 3.5 million seats this year

So RYR with then fanfare about restarting TLV flights, will not.

VLCfkight - you originally wrote that "Local press reporting that Valencia will go from seven to none based aircraft this coming summer."
The word "none" usually suggests zero or nothing. Did you mean "nine" instead ? Perhaps I should have guessed it was a typo rather than a dramatic change of aircraft deployment.... :-)

Not a win win at all. TUI lose significant control of their product. Customers ask more questions why they should book with TUI when booking direct may be cheaper. Furthermore, hotels are less inclined to offer TUI bulk discounts if they perceive TUI as little more than a travel agent. What is TUI really providing that booking.com and ryanair.com cannot ?

Didn't see it like that, so I take your point. TUI must see an advantage, perhaps with the ever growing Jet2 they felt they need to do something different.
