Love to see a year round service to Paphos/Larnaca added. Cyprus is a nightmare to get to from BHX in the winter months

Not to detract away from Ryanair but Jet2 offer Paphos year round from Birmingham.

Larnaca definitely feels a little flat since the days of Cobalt and Blue Air.

Weird because less than an hour ago I was rostered to operate it in April 🙃 I can’t show my roster because it’s against company policy, but it’s there still showing so could be a glitch or someone hasn’t told the other department, i can provide the data to back up what I am saying in the attachment below though.

Note Gdańsk was due to operate as an 4 sector day with Santander when not operated by Buzz hence the amount of hours.

Hey all,

İs there a particular reason why Ryanair never base any Eİ-Gxx reg aircraft at BHX?

Cheers

Karl

 

[BHX492]

All EI-GXX reg aircraft are short field performance mean there is no need from them here unlike other bases like FNC etc, There has been a few based but normally only for week or 2 when one of the regular based a/c goes tech.

 

[Karl Cunningham]

There has been no based aircraft this winter. Not sure about summer 22. The aircraft are currently based all over the place. Runway length doesn't seem to come into it.

That depends on what you mean by 'based'. Airport will usually offer reduced landing and parking fees for each based aircraft, even if the aircraft are rotated with other bases daily. Beyond that, there may be other agreements between airline and airport that we will never have access to.

Runway length at BHX is no problem at all for Ryanair.

 

[Karl Cunningham]

No Ei-Gxx aircraft have stayed longer than a turnaround at BHX this winter. I'm with you Kevin on the agreements part, between airport and airline. Would love to know what goes on behind closed doors with regards to the contracts etc....never going to happen though. Just wishful thinking

 

[BHX492]

On the same sort of topic as of next week we will have the 8200 based here as the engineer are now trained

 

[Karl Cunningham]

Will it one or two based?

 

[BHX492]

2 A/C will based but the seat maps are still showing 3 based 8200 so an extra one is likely to be based

@BHX492 what’s the situation with this now? I’m guessing it’s changed as they haven’t put flights back on sale? Would be a real shame to lose another Eastern European route.

Sadly it has been axed and now replaced with Girona which now starts 31st March instead of 6th June

As you stated, all 'EI-GXX' reg aircraft are short field performance aircraft and as such, are required to be based/operated into FNC. Looking at where the 15x 'EI-GXX' have been 'based' over the last few weeks, most operate out of the Portuguese bases - LIS (3), OPO (2), FAO (1), PDL (1), meaning they can operate into and swap with the 2x FNC 'based' aircraft. One or two are also usually found in STN, MAN, ALC, AGA and SVQ.

The first summer BHX based B737 MAX is operational. EI-HMT arrived on 19/03 and began based operations on the 23rd.
