Open up those ghost Spanish airports. Ryanair are coming!

I'm sure BA, Jet2, Monarch, Easyjet, Thomas Cook, Flybe and Thomson won't mind Ryanair leaving the UK market and not to mention non UK airlines like KLM.
You are right he doesn't know the Brexit negotiations result, no one does but I think Ryanair is worried the most out of the airlines publicly at least because it could be possible there UK based aircraft may have to become UK registered which would put them under UK law and they may have to pay UK tax which i believe is higher than Irish tax so it may possibly make them less competitive and less profitable.
 
S18 is now showing although flights not bookable yet.

It's pretty much a carbon copy of this summer so, good or bad, there will most likely be changes.

Oporto returns on March 25th, still 2x weekly.

Chania, Corfu and Perpignan all return on March 27th which I think is a slightly longer season than before, most likely due to Easter.
 
lets hope we get a few more routes and/or some increases in frequency. After their poor W17/18 launch im keen to see some from of growth, especially given Jet2 coming into the game and Vueling/Norwegian moving out....

Strange move by Ryanair. Not good PR at all and this will run negatively for them for 6 weeks. Rather than cancel flights they should invest the 1.2 billion profit in more staff.

This will wreck the travel plans of many people. Very poor to claim it will improve on time performance. Not if you consider performance of cancelled flights as zero.

Total disregard for customers as usual.

Just imagine what Ryanair publicity machine would have said is another airline had done this?
 
I think we got off quite lightly today with just a flight from Alicante cancelled. Not great if you are trying to get home from your holidays.

There are reports elsewhere that it's down to staffing levels with Ryanair having lost lots of crew members to the like of Jet2.
 
So each day they intend to tell people that their lives are temporary screwed up. That is very kind of them. Next week's mock the week numbers game: 40 to 50? What is the answer? Thing is the answer is so laughable and unreal that it mocks itself.

Fortunately I have Only ever flown Ryanair once. A situation I can say with some certainty will never change.
 
I can't believe that this is a course of action that Ryanair have chosen to take, but rather something that has been forced upon them through their own greed.
If Ryanair are losing staff to other airlines, then they should be looking at their employment terms and revising them in order to stop the leakage. Also, why is it quoted that so many staff are taking holidays? Have they been denied leave until it has become a crunch point? (I had an incident a few years ago, where I thought I'd used more leave than I actually had and was planning to carry some over to the next year. At the start of the December, HR spoke to me to say that I must legally take a set number of days and that I could not come into work for about half of December).
This could be very damaging for Ryanair, but I can't help thinking that it's their own making.

The Ryanair flight that made a emergency landing at EMA the other day because a nose wheel detached itself on departure from Stansted.
Would it be correct to say that the wheels are coming off in more ways than one?
 
On a side note of that Ryanair flight, I was trying to figure out who found out first they had a wheel missing. On FR24 they climbed to FL170 before even entering a hold so my guess was a runway check found a nose wheel? Surely it wouldn't have sensors to say if the wheel is on or not xD
 
On a more serious note I imagine that wheels are still spinning as the undercarriage is retracted and the consequences don't need thinking about if that's the case maybe there's someone more qualified on this forum to give a definitive answer ie is there a breaking system or re enforcement in the housing?

It tends to depend on the aircraft. Some aircraft the brakes are used to stop the wheels spinning before they are retracted. On most there are brake pads in the undercarriage bay that stops the wheels spinning.

I'm not sure if there's any kind of sensor to indicate if a wheel has come off. It tends to be just whether the undercarriage is up or down, locked in position, & position of undercarriage doors.

After this incident, I wouldn't be surprised if Airbus/Boeing include an option when purchasing new aircraft for a detector for this kind of problem, or assuming its not cost prohibitive, include it as standard.
 
The next two Madrid flights (tomorrow and Wed) have been cancelled, hopefully Iberia will be picking up a little extra business.

No flights to/from Birmingham are on the list for Tuesday.

I see there is now a Facebook group for this.

There are no brakes on the nose wheels, only the main wheels. With regard to sensors, I would guess that tyre pressure indicators would read zero once the wheel detached.
More worryingly is why did it detach? Fatigue, failure or incorrect maintenance?

Good point Kevin, that might have been how the pilots found out. I hope it's not incorrect OR maintenance but then again its Ryanair...

49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
