Samas oli hiljuti selline uudis, millest võib välja lugeda, et plaanis on talvehooajaks 80 lennukit maa peale jätta...nii et võib-olla lähevadki osad Tallinna lendavad Ryanairi liinid (talve)puhkusele.
"Again 80 aircraft will be grounded this winter The carrier last year decided to temporarily cut capacity by parking up to 80 aircraft in the winter schedules between Nov-2011 and Apr-2012 to counter the toxic mix of high oil prices and low demand. Ryanair indicated it will most probably repeat the move in the next winter. “These higher oil prices next winter and the refusal of some monopoly airports, most notably Dublin and Stansted, to lower winter charges makes it more logical to ground up to 80 aircraft rather than suffer losses flying at very low winter yields in 2013,” Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said. Despite the planned restricted capacity growth, the carrier anticipates expanding passenger numbers by 5% in FY2012/13 to 79 million."
The airline said the weak economic outlook for Europe would continue to restrain fare growth for the rest of the year, but maintained its forecast of a profit of between €400m and €440m for the year to March. "Austerity is biting. There is just less money around," said Chief Financial Officer Howard Millar. "There are no particular bright or black spots." Average fares were up 4%, in line with mid-single digit growth forecast by the airline in May, and were on track for average growth of around 3% in the year to March, Mr Millar said. Ryanair does not expect to change plans to ground 80 of its 270 planes over the winter due to high fuel costs, he said. "With oil prices at $100 per barrel it really doesn't make sense to fly these aircraft," Mr Millar said. "The more you fly, the more you lose."

Täna siis ka Eesti meedias selleteemaline uudis.

Ryanair: loodetavasti avame liinid taas kevadel
http://www.e24.ee/961062/ryanair-loodetavasti-avame-liinid-taas-kevadel
Siin ka ametlik ja natuke põhjalikum selgitus: http://majandus.delfi.ee/news/uudised/ryanair-kinnitas-tallinna-liinide-arvu-kolmele-vahendamist.d?id=64915324
Seda esialgset uudist liinide kärpimisest lugedes tekkis ka mul küsimus et kust on see seljakotirändur oma info saanud ja kuivõrd see on nende poolt kontrollitud ning Ryanairi esindaja poolt kinnitatud. Mingit viidet info päritolu kohta nende lehel ei olnud. Ajakirjandus aga hakkas kiirelt seda refereerima.
Eestil jääb Ryanairi lendude lõppemisega talvel saamata üle kolme miljoni euro: http://www.epl.ee/news/majandus/eestil-jaab-ryanairi-lendude-loppemisega-talvel-saamata-ule-kolme-miljoni-euro.d?id=64917878
Päris huvitav artikkel: Kas Ryanairi jaoks on kütus Lätis odavam, kui Eestis?
