I have to wonder how many of the MAX 8-200s will be converted to MAX 10s, especially if that order is not complete by the time the MAX 10 is ready for production.

Also, with Lauda now to go all Boeing, how many 737-800s or MAX 8-200s will be allocated to Lauda?

Wait until you discover that some of the ‘harps’ on the tail and fuselage are straight and some wonky. It really upsets my OCD.


I saw that recently! Really upsets my OCD too when you see a them lined up at a terminal with the harp at different angles.

The MAX10 gonna come in 2023, if not further delayed. Their MAX200 deliveries are until 2024. I say Ryanair gonna stick to their MAX200 order, to prevent themselves against a new possible delivery delay.

Is Ryanair going to make a new MAX200 order in the upcoming 10 years? Into the MAX10 FR gonna put around 15% more seats than in the MAX200. But operating the MAX10 costs less than 15% more. There may be some FR airports that cannot handle the MAX10. For those the 210 MAX200 should be sufficient.

In the app it's still possible to choose flying dates in 2022. But then it says the flight is not available. The flights seem to have been deleted.

there is already an article about it: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.leices ... 864810.amp

btw Ryanair flies from East Midlands to Barcelona, Reus AND Girona

I'm surprised that there isn't a mass voter call to do so. The APD has to be among the highest in the world.

The FR CEO Eddy Wilson says the reason for having a relatively small presence in Germany are "way too high airport charges. There are airports like Memmingen that are reasonable. But some charge more than 40 euros per passenger. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to say who. Not only is that more than twice as much as most airports in Italy. It's also higher than our average airfare. That is why we unfortunately cannot come to the same extent to Frankfurt, Düsseldorf or Stuttgart and strengthen your [the German] economy in the crisis. Because we have to pay for our planes, kerosene and employees from something."

I guess he is referring to larger airports in Germany, I highly doubt airports like Weeze or Hahn charge as much as FRA or DUS.

Anyone could give a hint on how many FR bases are still single-aircraft? Are those yet cost-effective for the airline? Do you see them back to the Canaries in Spain via Buzz or Malta Air?

There's been a few versions of the tail logo on the B737-800. The original scheme as per the B737-200s had a smaller logo, then with the current scheme it was made larger, then later got a breast augmentation, then still later was tilted backwards from the vertical. It's not random, it was a design change.

And yes, I do need a life, I know !

Yes that's the thing. Hahn and Weeze are small airports.

Ryanair serves all the busiest airports in Italy, Spain, Portugal and UK – except LHR, but there are plenty alternatives for London.

In Germany Ryanair doesn't serve the airports that belong to the busiest: MUC, DUS, STR, HAJ and doesn't want to grow in FRA. For MUC, STR and HAJ there is no LCC airport nearby. The potential of having capacity in busy German airports isn't used.

Interesting thing is that in August Ryanair operated 6 routes from ZAG (new ones) but the airport failed to report considerable growth. They served 194.000 passengers. I wonder if that means that FR underperformed or others did. Will be interesting to see what happens in the end.

ZAG is currently 6th in ex-Yugoslavia behind Belgrade, Pristina, Skopje, Dubrovnik and Split.

Ryanair showed how many 737-800 they gonna phase out:

For the the upcoming years it's going to be 21 - 13 - 10 - 9 - 0.

I expected more. The first planes of their fleet are now 18 years old.

The tourism in Split and Dubrovnik is developed.

The second most served route from Belgrade is Vienna. By Air Serbia and Austrian. Looks like the airport doesn't want Ryanair and Wizz for this city pair...

Good for Pristina. Had a decent growth the last 15 years.

For Montenegro it's understandable that they're not the in Top 6. It's a country with not much inhabitants. Developing their beach destinations would be nice.

Ljubljana didn't attract much (U)LCC traffic so far.

And Sarajevo gets now started with Wizz.

Ryanair allegedly canceled the negotiations with Boeing over a MAX10 order.

C919?

I would assume they would continue to excercise MAX200 options:

Please note there is a dedicated thread on this non-order. Previously, Ryanair would wait a while and restart negotiations.

hard to say. there may come a new opportunity. I remember FR got sued after closing the bases on the Canaries, lost the case, and had to pay a certain amount to former based employees. They may not want to come back soon ;). For a route to Brazil they have my full support :)



MOL says the overall European short haul capacity in summer 2022 will be 20% less than in summer 2019, which gonna lead to higher prices. hm, Wizz and Ryanair will have more aircraft then compared to 2019.

At least for the winter he promises low fares ^^

I'd say a classic MOL scaremongering tactic to get people to panic pre-book early to boost his profits. Let's face it, rivals cutting their fleets would only benefit MOL, so why the 'warning'.

I agree



The first Buzz livery plane made its first commercial roundtrip today. From Krakow to Stansted and back. The second Buzz livery plane was flown from Dublin to Krakow yesterday.

According to Planespotters all Ryanair Sun aircraft (in the Ryanair livery) were transfered to the Buzz subsidiary some days ago.

I remember Ryanair got sued by WizzAir over the name 'Buzz' as it's somewhat similar to 'Wizz'. Seems to not stop them for flying the Buzz livery.

In Dublin there is a new pilot training center. Kinda interesting that there are more training mashines for the A320 than for the 737

Ryanair wants to grow the number of passengers compared to 2019 by 50% in the upcoming five years!

But only if 90% of the population is vaccinated.

THAT'S an incentive. Come on Europeans, get the shot for more low fares :) :)

That's because Ryanair already owned the Buzz brand before Wizz was even founded, they just didn't use it at the time. Buzz was originally founded by KLM as a budget airline, then sold off to Ryanair. Later KLM acquired Transavia to make it a budget airline similar to what they previously had with Buzz.

Acquiring Buzz got Ryanair a good number of slots at Eindhoven, many of which they still use. Otherwise they might never have been as big there as they are now.

And FrenchBee. I wonder Bees didn't get sued. By FrenchBee which got sued by itself ^^



People used a facebook page called "Where is DAD?" Posting pictures and writing where they saw the Ryanair plane EI-DAD.

That aircraft flies now for Amazon Prime and kept its registration.

Where is DAD? Now based in Cologne.

On the one hand the 210 new aircraft must fly to somewhere. And the 75 million additional passengers need to arrive somewhere. Could be KEF. The minimum fare of PLAY is 62€ one-way currently. From STN – Ryanair could beat that easily.

On the other hand Ryanair usually flies to airports with the lowest costs. While Wizz and other European LCCs also fly and seek to expand at medium cost airports like LGW and Orly. Reykjavik has just 120.000 and Iceland 360.000 inhabitants, so additional outbound traffic might be limited. Wizz flies in workers from Poland and serves touristically famous London, Vienna, Rome and Milan. Iceland is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Touristically rather interesting in the summer months, when accommodations are even higher priced. Might not be the favorite destination for rather price sensitive Ryanair passengers.

As you know FR was forced, as a victim of its own expansion-success, to abandon the model of serving solely low(er) cost airports and has bases all around Europe in airports like ATH,MAD,BCN,LIS,FCO,MXP,MAN, EDI, CPH and lately ARN and HEL..Iceland is growing its popularity as a tourist destination now both in winter and summer..Iceland is one of the most expensive countries but nowadays, people who can save on the ticket, fork it out on hotels, tours, restos etc...Scandinavian countries are insanely expensive and so is Switzerland but they still get millions of budget tourists..So let's not rule it out because eventually , as you said, they will have to fly their 200+ new 737s somewhere..Although they are looking to expand further east in Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia...And they do have a base in Amman

I think the airport charges in ATH,MAD,BCN,LIS,FCO,MXP,MAN, EDI are lower than KEF. Didn't Ryanair get incentives to fly from ARN and HEL? I can imagine both airports were looking to reach pre plague levels with a smaller Norwegian and less legacy traffic.

Wizz pays the £82 for LTN->TLV. I cannot imagine Ryanair doing that. I see them more focused on costs.

Are there budget tourists in Switzerland? I just checked a night next week in Geneva and sorted by price. The lowest price for a bed in a shared dormitory room is 44€! In SEA, India, Ukraine, South and Central American countries, Mexico and so on you get a night for 3-7€ – in a very good rated hostel – some with breakfast included!

In a Swiss place called Arosa, the hotels are cunning! Yes you get a room for 15€. If you also pay 150€ charges :D :D

Arosa is one of the most famous mountain regions with resorts in Switzerland, in Grabunden canton..So it's not just a swiss place called Arosa..And yes there are budget travellers in Switzerland, not low end ones with 5eur per day, but higher end ones..Easyjet helped to achieve that and Swiss has very often cheap Light Fare tickets which if booked in advance are really competitive

Cannot imagine that it's fun being a budget traveller in Switzerland. For me they are high price travellers. They could get much more for their money in nice price countries.

A very good rated hostel in Switzerland for 44€ is not better than a very good rated hostel for 5€ in my mentioned countries.



MOL gonna announce the base development of Zagreb on Tuesday. If he brings more additional based planes to the party?

5 euros is the price of a nice sandwich in much of western Europe. If you want a bed for a night for 5 euros, Europe is not the place to visit. Reputable hostels eve in struggling countries such as Moldova charge more than 5 euros. If you find a bed for 5 euros per night, ask yourself if you really would choose to stay there

Ryanair announced MAD-AMM.

On some days available for 19,99€ in each direction.
It's the longest Amman flight so far.

From AMM they could connect almost whole Europe inside the 6 hour range:

afaik Amman and Jordan is the only Ryanair destination where you can find US fastfood chains like Hardee's, Popeye's, Buffalo Wings & Rings and so on. Cannot wait to see In-N-Out Burger there ^^

Does Ryanair have a base there? I couldn't find any flight that departs from AMM and comes back. It looks like they have a heavy maintenance check there, but no base: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/tra ... -1.4058269

A heavy maintenance check for a 737 costs around 1 million euro - wow

Indeed Amman is not a base, the Amman-Madrid flight is flown with a Madrid-based aircraft. Nonetheless, if it can be flown from Madrid it can be flown from any European base.

They also operate AMM flights from Cyprus, that is from their base in Pafos.

Ryanair actually clashes 2 more based aircraft to Zagreb. With a future outlook of 10 altogether.

For the announcement MOL flew in one of the company's Learjets:

From what I read online, during the press conference he said that their future expansion will depend on what kind of support they get and if ZAG will share their vision.
I think ZAG will support them until traffic returns and I don't think that will happen until 2023. KE just suspended ticket sales for ZAG next year and EK doesn't seem to be coming back. I guess Zagreb will be stuck with Ryanair for a while.

I wonder ZAG didn't attract (more) EW and Easyjet traffic earlier.

Which is good for low fares :)



Throwback Thursday!
When MOL made the welcome speech onboard.

Eurowings did add some destinations and frequencies but some like Prague have already been reduced. easyJet used to fly there but they ended up suspending flights. I guess it's a difficult market for many.

I hope Ryan Air gets an excellent deal from Boeing. They want the Max10.

I say Ryanair gonna make a deal for the MAX10 inside the upcoming 24 months.

Eddy Wilson said Lauda is going to grow strongly and mentioned that with the A320. Kinda entertaining to see MOLs comments on Boeing recently and how it will turn out.

Some days ago Ryanair got a plane, that's brand-new but already 2,7 years old!
