Ryanair Expansion

FR ditching BHD ... all flights being scrapped from end sept

Well let's get a couple of 738's based a GLA and game on! Surely the powers that be at GLA must still be talking to MOL & co?

FR ditching BHD ... all flights being scrapped from end sept

The question might be why are they ditching Belfast ? A GLA style lovers tiff was it ? I can still recall when most people on here thought Ryanair would be the ruin of Glasgow Airport and we really shouldn't court them.

Indeed Allen. That was my original stance but if you factor out FR completely, who is going to take up the reigns? It's the old adage,"keep your friends close and your enemies closer". There's usually a dearth of FR flights in and out of EDI anytime I'm on FR24.
I have no expectations of much in the way of further expansion from LS or U2 even allowing for things being 'normal' sometime soon.

Yep.All the provincial English airports seem to be gathering momentum whilst we tread water. Getting annoying now.
As an aside. UK registered Ryanair aircraft heading to STN from RBA. G-RUKB operating RK1365. Never knew they had UK registered aircraft.
Another aside, as I type there are 7 inbound flights to Scottish airports. 5 heading to EDI and 2 to PIK. Just saying.

Ryanair to pull out of Belfast Intl from October. This means they will not operate from Northern Ireland at all, given the recent announcement they will pull out of Belfast City next month, Derry flights already stopped

Ryanair have blamed APD. Where have we heard that before?

Strange how they only have an issue with APD at certain airports

Now a contraction. The 5-aircraft Frankfurt base is to close 31st March, citing increased charges from April. The base is operated by Malta Air, who will re-deploy the 5 aircraft elsewhere.
