Glad I'm not Jet 2

Ryanair, the World’s favourite airline, today (11th Aug) announced it would open its 34th base at Leeds Bradford in March 2010 with two based aircraft and 14 new routes (17 in total) being launched. Ryanair will offer 63 weekly return flights to/from Leeds Bradford in an investment worth over $140 million in the airport.

Ryanair’s 14 new routes from Leeds Bradford to Carcassonne, Faro, Ibiza, Knock, Krakow, Limoges, Malaga, Malta, Montpellier, Murcia, Nantes, Palma, Pisa and Venice Treviso will increase Ryanair’s traffic at Leeds Bradford to 1 million passengers p.a. which will create and sustain 1,000 well paid local jobs in Yorkshire.

Ryanair celebrated its new Leeds Bradford base, two new aircraft, 17 routes and 1million passengers by releasing 1 million £5 seats for travel across its European network for travel in October and November which are available for booking on www.ryanair.com until midnight Thursday (13th August).

Im hoping there are enough pax to go round. GRO and ALC dont seem to have affected LS's routes so i dont see why the new ones should. Lets hope PM doesnt get the hump.

I think Krakow will be axed by Jet 2. Was year round, then dropped to seasonal, and reduced from 4 to 2xWeek for next year - and that was announced before FR

Malaga year round and Palma/Ibiza/Faro/Murcia in summer at least should be fine, though may need capacity and/or frequency reductions. Not sure about Venice/Pisa
