Looks like the two Billund routes are Pisa (4*per week from 1st Nov) and Frankfurt Hahn (3*per week from 7th Nov).

Ryanair booking engine shows DUB dep to MLA as 0700 and not 1225

Maybe there are even TWO new aircraft being delivered to Dublin on February 8th! Otherwise it's a bit random that Malta also seems to bit starting February 8th.

So more Dublin routes seem highly likely then :ok:

With the new Pisa routes announced today, have any flights there been dropped or reduced in frequency?

New Pisa Routes
 

As far as I can see, PSA - DUB has been reduced to 1-3-5-7, allowing the new Seville route.

Lubeck has been reduced to 3 per week and two of the three daily STN rotations will be operated by STN based aircraft.

(All effective end of October)

Poor Lubeck has seen route reductions all round :( They've gone from teacher's pet to being the forgotten son.
Are Ryanair gearing up for their Bremen base launch instead?

The way things are going they may see no flights next Summer. Infratil have tried to increase the charges and the response has been to reduce flights, if the Bremen base goes ahead as speculated on here and eslewhere - Ryanair could move the whole "Hamburg" operation to Bremen ??

Malta taxes
 

If your trip begins in Malta, then the taxes charged for "Going out" amount to 70 euro!!!

Me no understand :confused:

sounds like something the EU Commission should be taking an interest in. Didn't think that kind of thing was allowed, at least intra-EU.

FR have introduced a 3xweekly PIK-Grenoble for the winter season, starting Dec 06. Ideal for getting to the si resorts. Went with them from PIK via STN last year so this will make it so much easier.

Ryanair in Germany
 

Hi there!

Can anyone confirm plans that say, FR will be opening a new base in SOUTHERN Germany? In particular it was Karlsruhe-Baden airport that was mentioned....

Thanks for any info.....

Karlsruhe have an ambitious development plan for the terminal and taxiways/navaids. If that happens it is likely that Ryanair will open a third base in Germany. A second base in Germany is expected to open in April 2007.

Ok, so FKB could be THE third base in Germany. What will base II be? Bremen? Or is that just another rumour?

If FR is going for Karlsruhe, there will be someone unhappy here in the south: Germanwings, with it's Stuttgart-base (currently 6 a/c). Facing an increasing competition 4U/HLX/FR...

Florian-LH

Ryanair said a few months ago that they would announce 2 or 3 more bases before the end of 2006.

The expectation now is that they will include Madrid and Bremen. Other rumored bases include Porto, Murcia, Krakow or Wroclaw, even Lyon! This is the first whispering I've heard about Baden-Baden base. I wouldn't expect it to be announced this year. Baden-Baden is certainly on the cards, but so then are another dozen airports...

Charlie Roy

I think oleary said many months ago that he wanted to open 12 bases in the next 7 years or something around that figure so its not suprising there are lots of rumours.

One of the cheapest ads I've ever seen!
 

Just watching the ITN 1830 news - imagine the surprise of seeing 1 million 'FREE' fayres with Ryan**air amongst the half-time entertainment !!!!! Looked like ad had been produced in someone's garage for about 5 pts of the black stuff!!!!! Me thinks the latest security measures might be starting to hurt...............:E
