Ryanair

If you do that, what about mandatory RESA?? Wasn't that why it had to be moved in the first place?? I recall that to leave it where it was would have entailed filling in the small reservoir and creating the aforesaid overrun/undershoot safety area.

…….and it allowed the installation of Cat3 approach lighting to improve operational reliability.

Unfortunately this is a time where MOL/Ryanair wish they'd gone with the 321NEO over the MAX10. The 321NEO would be less restricted into some airfields then the MAX10 is clearly going to be.

It goes against what MOL has said all along, being able to operate from all the smaller cheaper regional airports has always been a major plus for Ryanair bringing cost down. Being limited to certain larger airfields with long perfectly flat runways isn't the sort of thing MOL usually does. Only recently MOL said in an interview he felt like "Ryanair had robbed Boeing" making the order during the pandemic at a knocked down price. Whether he will eventually regret the move remains to be seen.

Not forgetting though that Ryanair will be operating a mixed fleet of 738s, Max 8-200s and Max 10s, so still plenty of aircraft that can operate out of airports not suitable for the Max 10. Plus MoL has stated he would like more Airbus aircraft in the fleet, over and above those currently operated by Lauda.

Ryanair operate from a lot of big airports and on high demand routes. I expect that's where the MAX 10s will go.

Be interesting to know how the B737 max10 handles once certified, the aircraft is almost as long as the A321 but lower to the ground and with the same size wing as other 737 types!

It's a good point that and I am sure you once said that Boeing missed a trick by not doing a modern(ised) 757 which I also agree with.
If we finish up with a 3 or 4 Max8 FR base then happy with that

I dont think LBA will ever see the Max 10 given its obvious operational limitations. What is the point? We don't need an aircraft that will atruggle on hot days, wet days, crosswind days etc., leading to passenger disruption and delays. The Max 8 suits LBA perfectly in terms of capacity and performance, and ideally we get a 4th based unit when things improve in the aviation world.

and the Max 8 is a lovely aircraft to fly on as well......as is their cabin service out of the Leeds base..oh yes and the app food ordering system works very well on the Max..We tried it a few weeks ago and its a pretty good to your seat service..Different to Jet2 but not bad..I think other bases for Ryanair might not be so good, but LBA is top notch..and dsare I say, in some respects better than Jet2..

One wonders whether it will be a bit like the B757-300 - if I remember correctly they rotated rather slowly due to their immense length
