Over 100 weekly flights? I was under the impression 53 weekly flights were on offer (last week). Have they doubled their capacity?

I think they mean there and back

 

[Finger66]

Indeed they do. Typical FR PR spin to make it sound better than it is. But all credit to them, they are absolute masters at it

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

All airlines do it. Wizz, Jet2, TUI, easyJet the whole lot.

 

[White Heather]

Well I guess that a flight is a flight, whatever direction it's going!

Don't CAA stats count passenger numbers as both arriving and departing at an airport?

 

[rollo]

Indeed they do.

Yup, you could be flying out of LBA and back into MAN, so classed a single pax on both sectors / for both airports.

 

[lbaspotter]

Just had another look at the winter ACL Slot report and seen that Ryanair are LBA's biggest airline this winter season.

	ATM	Seats
Ryanair	2.370	448.874
Jet2	2.348	404.166
Aer Lingus	1.210	87.120
KLM	840	89.888
Flybe	744	58,032
Wizz Air	704	161.920
EasyJet UK	122	20.292
Enter Air	12	2,268
Aurigny	6	432
Titan Airways	2	378
TUi Airways UK	2	360
Loganair	2	98
Totals	8,362	1,273,828

Wizz Air & Enter Air flights were not listed on the plimary slot report, but I've added there figures to this list

 

[White Heather]

Don't CAA stats count passenger numbers as both arriving and departing at an airport?

Yes, so technically the inbound is a flight, the outbound is a flight, and it's not spin at all for Ryanair to state they are operating 100+ flights per week.

 

[Finger66]

Whilst technically yes we all agree with that, but to the general public I am not sure they would understand that and would possibly expect 100 departures a week! That said, it's all slight irrelevant however as they could only book what is offered and dont think anyone would check every individual flight for a whole week just to count them. Either way they got us all discussing things so still very clever marketing whichever way you choose to look at it

 

[752]

Another example of why FR relationship is very very important to LBA, maintain 3 based AC with the most seats from the airport. good for them.

And despite the impending arrival of Wizz to compete on the Polish routes.

 

[YorkshireLad]

When are the remaining routes to go on sale for S2023?

 

[Aviador]

Ryanair are notorious for chopping and changing their schedule right up until several weeks before they start service. Most airlines finalise at least the destinations they intend on serving by around January for spring ops.

 

[White Heather]

Ryanair have confirmed that they are to retrofit over 400 Boeing 737 800s with scimitar winglets this winter, reducing their fuel burn by 1.5%.
