un topic abbastanza interessante.Ryanair. In the last two weeks the airline has established new bases at Leeds/Bradford (in the United Kingdom), Faro (in Portugal) and Oslo Rygge (in Norway). As a result, according to OAG schedule data Ryanair is currently operating 824 routes across 142 airports in Europe and North Africa. This does not include all the summer seasonal routes which have yet to start operating. The average frequency across the current route network is 5.1 departures per week.
As is well known the airline’s two busiest airports are London Stansted and its ancestral home at Dublin airport. However, the ranking of airports after that may be less predictable with Milan Bergamo ranked third and Madrid (yes, one of Europe’s busiest major airports) ranked fourth ahead Girona (serving Barcelona) and Brussels Charleroi. Among the top 20 airports are three non-bases; Paris Beauvais (12th), Venice Treviso (18th) and Berlin Schönefeld (20th). The airline’s new bases at Faro and Leeds/Bradford rank 41st and 42nd, but the new base at Oslo Rygge has jumped to joint 16th place with 113 weekly departures spread across 26 destinations.
This week saw Ryanair’s first flights to Lleida airport in Spain with twice-weekly services to both Frankfurt Hahn and Milan Bergamo. There are seven airports (of which five are in France) which Ryanair aircraft visit just twice per week. These are Constanta (Romania), Figari (France), Lappeenranta (Finland), Lourdes/Tarbes (France), Perpignan (France), Rodez (France) and Saint Etienne (France).
