I understand but they canceld some routes ...and the growe is 7% IN Brussels and Charleroi so it's not clear how much more in Brussels Airport.

Ryanair launched its Hamburg summer 2017 schedule, with two new routes to Faro and Thessaloniki, seven new summer services to Brussels, Dublin, Gran Canaria, London, Manchester, Milan and Sofia, as the carrier grows its Hamburg operations by 180%.

Ryanair plans to take delivery of 50 new aircraft in next 12 months, as aircraft numbers grow from 355 to over 500 in the next five years.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the last flight to Bratislava from Brussels will be on 9 November
As from 11 Nov, this destination moves back to CRL, damn it !

Ryanair has cut the period during which passengers who have not pre-booked a seat (at 6€ per booking) can check in (either on its website or its app) from 7 days to 4 days before the flight (until 2 hours before the flight in both cases).

"Always getting better"? Or a new way to raise money...

FY17 Guidance Reduced By 5% To €1.30bn - €1.35bn Range

FULL YEAR PROFITS EXPECTED TO GROW BY 7% INSTEAD OF PREVIOUSLY GUIDED 12%

Ryanair today (Tues, October 18) reduced its full year net profit guidance by 5% from a previous range of €1.375bn - €1.425bn to a new range of €1.30bn - €1.35bn. The primary cause of this slightly lower growth in full year profitability is the 18% fall of Sterling post Brexit which will reduce H2 average fares by between 13% to 15% as opposed to the previously guided 10% to 12%.

Ryanair confirmed that its H1 fares were marginally weaker at -10% compared to previously guided -9%. However, these lower fares will be partly offset by a better than expected cost performance. Ryanair now expects full year ex-fuel unit costs to decline by 3% compared to previously guided 1%. Ryanair also expects full year load factor to be 1% better than guided at 94%, and now expects that full year traffic will increase to 119m, which is 12% growth on last year’s 106m customers.

Ryanair’s CEO Michael O’Leary said:

“The recent sharp decline in Sterling post Brexit (which accounts for approx. 26% of Ryanair’s FY17 revenues) will weaken H2 yields by slightly more than we had originally expected. While higher load factors, stronger traffic growth and better cost control will help to ameliorate these weaker revenues, it is prudent now to adjust full year guidance which will rise by approx. 7% (over FY 2016) rather than our original guidance of 12%. This decline is primarily due to the impact of weaker Sterling on our H2 fares.

We would caution that this revised guidance remains heavily dependent upon no further weakness in H2 fares (-13% to -15%) or Sterling from its current levels (€1 = £0.9050). As Ryanair will continue to be load factor active and price passive throughout the winter season at these low prices, there has never been a better time for customers to book or fly with Ryanair.”

So they will operate at two airports named "Frankfurt": at Frankfurt (= the real one) and at Hahn (till now called "Frankfurt" by them).

Do you sometimes attend such press conferences? A good way to have first-hand information. The press release is issued immediately, but does not cover the Q&A session where there is often additional information of interest.

Anyway, the rumours here confirm FR routes from FRA to tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, such as PMI.

Lufthansa welcomes Ryanair at FRA:

"Welcome to the "real" Frankfurt Airport, dear Ryanair. In case you get lost on such a big airport, just give us a call! "



And Ryanair responds:

"Thanks. Looks like you need a holiday. You can fly Ryanair for €9.99. Low fares have finally come to Frankfurt"

Hopefully they start some flights from FRA to BRU. I'd really like to go to Frankfurt and spot some planes there, but I just cannot pay 140EUR (lowest I found) to fly with Lufthansa single way as a student :/ So please Ryanair, fly to Frankfurt from Brussels

Ryanair always jumps on every opportunity to advertise!

Ryanair plans to cut growth in the UK and switch its focus to other European markets such as Germany, Italy and Belgium following the vote to leave the EU

No expansion to OST/EBOS thats 100% sure.
EBOS management doesn't want Ryanair at their airport if you read the recent twitter replies on Mr Buelens account.

OST airport is and will be a TUI airport.
Ryanair would f**k up the place according to the CEO.
