New Bases for Winter 2011/12 & DUB, ORK & SNN Growth plans

Have Ryanair any plans to open any new bases this year. I have herd Bratislava was on the cards but that was a while ago. Is there any plans to start flights from new european airports.

Also has anyone any info on the proposels that FR put forword for DUB, ORK and SNN airprots recently to Dep of Transport.

MOL said he’d be “disappointed if the airline will not launch 6-10 more bases in a year’s time”, leaving it with 50+ bases.

Hinting at where these bases would be, MOL suggested one each in Spain and Italy, a second base in Central/Eastern Europe (other than Kaunas), “somewhere” in North Africa, “somewhere” in Scandinavia and also “somewhere” in the UK (in spite of capacity cuts also taking place in the country). There will not be new bases launched in Germany or France.

If he is starting new bases he may well thin out some of the existing more expensive ones. If he is going to drastically reduce the Winter schedule then that will have to be a factor as well. I think you rule out SNN and ORK for route development because of his ongoing war with them.
