Oh buzz off! We've heard this name before ... and it didn't attract the drones even then!

Someones got a bee in their bonnet, just trying to make light of the situation
We all know Buzz was around at STN previously (2000-2004 for those wondering) and it's always nice to see a revived brand from time to time

some routes it s summer to all year round

ryanair will close the Thessaloniki - Athens route from the end of March
and they move the Barcelone/Girona - riga route to Barcelona Airport at the end of October

Used Manchester-Belfast on Thursday afternoon. I am sure half the pax were priority boarding. What I noticed was how many were using backpacks which are not taken off pax. The overhead lockers were completely full between cases and backpacks. So bring in rules to control bags and create a different problem. Ryanair and other low cost airlines will never control this issue until they accept they have to charge less, a lot less, to check bags in, as the fares charged are robbery. Ryanair carried a lot of bags on this flight that they didn't earn a penny from.

I wish they'd kept the original buzz livery. But not enough white on it for modern airline colour schemes!

Buzz were bust and KLM needed to exit asap. Ryanair would have got into French regional airports anyway, it was just a matter of time.

Ahhhh fond memories of Buzz!!!

Mostly involving some cabin crew, my Irish accent and Ireland rugby jersey at a Pprune Bash around 2001!!!

I think there was an argument with a Sabena captain about having another drink around 2am and convincing him that his FO could be PF all day!!!!

FR dropped 6 routes from Wroclaw

Belfast
Lisbon
Madrid
Malaga
Tel-Aviv
Tenerife-South

All ends at the end of Oct ! excluding Tel Aviv end of March

Could it be that they're converting them into seasonal? Which means we will have to wait for S20 to find out

EDI appears to still be bookable for W19.

Has FR finalized the W19/20schedule out of all its bases in Europe, or are they still working out the details for some till the beginning of April.?.I am asking because some routes a few days ago were not bookable.past Oct26 and now they are..Should we wait a little lomger before we draw any conclusions?

A new airport in the Ryanair's network will be Odessa, Ukraine. At least three routes to/from there: Krakow (again), Katowice, Wroclaw. I'd describe Odessa as a typical Summer destination (Black Sea spa town), but as Wroclaw and Katowice will start only in October, these routes will be used as workforce transfer channel, at least in Winter. An official press conference is due today.
