Ryanair

[Jerry]

Frustratingly the flights that Ryanair to load up have been taken down. I wish them and Flybe would just get on with it and put summer 20 onsale so we know what the damage will be.

There was nothing on either app or website last night

Nothing onsale yes but on the app the dates were marked out as if they were loading them.

Nothing on app or online.

Fingers crossed it won't be too long until they are loaded.

Although nothing is onsale on the app or fully loaded it does suggest that both Malaga and Malta will return the same as last year which is good news.
I am hopeful that maybe they will consider launching Mallorca even if it's just June to October like malaga is.
Still considering what happened this year just keeping everything bar Tenerife is a plus.

 

[Nuffsaid]

Rome, Venice, Palma, Lanzarote, Corfu, Chania (Crete) and Rhodes would be great additions for next summer. Especially the Greek routes with the loss of Thomas Cook.

 

[Jerry]

I could see Rome as a possibility one day with them if they are interested. I'd imagine that it's a similar type of route to Barcelona. Hopefully they'll continue to expand at Cardiff.

 

[Jerry]

It looks like malaga will only operate in June July and August.

There are some interesting posts in the LBA Ryanair thread as to why Ryanair might be cutting back on routes and frequencies across its network.

To get the share price up i think i read? I've also read somewhere that MOL has been saying that the package holiday is dead, yet Jet2 seems to disprove that! I am hoping they'll add PMI but if this is it for 2020 then it's still good.

And to get the overall yield up it would seem.

Yes, which is why i don't see Malta returning for winter 2020. The prices are extremely cheap, if anyone wants a cheap gettaway the Cardiff to Malta is it!

Next summer though there will be fewer seats to MLA in the BRS/CWL/EXT triangle with both Air Malta and Thomas Cook flights from BRS seemingly gone (we know for certain that Thomas Cook has of course).

That should help with the yields then! Also maybe the lack of Thomas Cook winter capacity as well will help them.
I do feel though that the airport hasn't really pushed MLA as a new winter route.

 

[Jerry]

From 10th November to 25th March 2020 the Malta route will be operated by Ryanair's Malta Air subsidiary.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

Malta Air seems a confusing name when an Air Malta already exists, especially with the Maltese government having the majority ownership of the second and a golden share in the first. On another forum someone was writing about 'Ryanair's Air Malta' until put right.

It is to be hoped that travellers who have no interest in aviation realise that they are still effectively booking and flying with Ryanair even though the name and livery of the airline are different.
