RYANAIR
 

Although Dublin and Oslo (Rygge) are bookable for 2011 there is still no sign of Gerona. Anyone heard if this service will happen or if some other route may be announced?

Ryanair
 

Are Ryanair not in some sort of dispute with Girona airport authorities. Perhaps thats whats holding things up.
Although other airports in UK to Girona now on sale.

On Dec 23 Ryanair announced a 5 year extension to their Girona base and the routes have only started to go on sale on Dec 23 and with Christmas and New Year so it should be on sale over the next week or two.

AF
 

No Air France to CDG bookable after the end of Oct 2011. Hope thats not another loss. Possibly something to do with Britair opperating the route?. Other AF UK to CDG seem to be on sale.

Ryanair - Newcastle - Girona will operate on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday next summer. The outbound flights will be uploaded soon.

Do I smell two new Ryanair routes?

Go on NCL's website on their destination map, you'll see Porto - Portugal and Seville - Spain.

Seville would be good, I've done a couple of day trips but would love to stay longer. One of the most beautiful cities in the world imho.

I hope it all comes to light soon then! I want to see REAL Spanish cities, sick of those bucket and spade places

nothing on the Ryanair site

mystery solved:
please note that this destinatination is only available as part of a one-off holiday. Please go to www.newmarketholidays.co.uk for more information.

The GERONA Ryanair flights are now in the booking engine, Tu/Th/Sa

JET 2 uses the stated 5 a/c during Summer 11 except for Sundays when the schedules seem to suggest 6 a/c. anyone else noticed this?

Ah well, fun while it lasted lol

Still nothing on the AF CDG route after October, are AF-KLM going to consolidate all their ops to AMS? If they do quit, that leaves NCL with a 4 (?) weekly easyJet flight to CDG, and who knows how long it'll be before they pull that as well!

What's the chances that we could see a 3rd A/C from Flybe to operate the CDG with an AF codeshare as Flybe haven't released their flights after OCT yet?!

That's exactly what has been going through my mind, it would make sense bearing in mind the current co-operation between Air France and Flybe.

What effect do you think the Ryanair pullout from DTV will have on their operations from NCL?

They may add ALC but they don't seem to be that bothered about NCL. Would it be that the airport don't want FR routes to protect Jet 2 and Easyjet??

I don't think another operator to Alicante would be much use to the airport. I was thinking they may have to restore frequency on DUB and maybe add a fequency or two to Gerona to handle ex DTV pax

I would like to see Milan back again and some completely new destination. NCL will only get flights from other Ryanair bases, I can't ever see it having a base there against EZY and Jet2.

Sometime in March the election will be held and when Fine Gael get into power they have said (on Friday just gone) they will scrap the €10 (until 1 March and €3 from 1 March) travel tax. Ryanair have said they would increase flights to UK and Europe but it will probably not happon until August/ September.

That would be good news, it seems to have caused immense damage to pax numbers and increased (not reduced) tourism is vital to help the Irish recovery.
