Albert the InfoGipsy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 It seems unlikely that Ryanair would quit Stansted in a hurry. On their home page click 'Where we fly' half way down on the right and then click on Stansted.I have heard that they won't be using Nantes from about June and maybe they'll pull out of La Rochelle too.By the way, on their site they refer to Stansted as London (STN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Streason Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 We live and work near Stansted and believe me if Ryanair were pulling out it would be all over the place. Its their biggest UK hub. I was at dinner just this week with people from BAA and nothing was mentioned. Also our son is a pilot (not Ryanair) and they would soon have picked up on anything. It wouldnt surprise me if there were a little sabre rattling as BAA have been told they must sell Stansted and in typical Ryanair fashion they were trying to equalise before the other side scores over such things as landing fees, services etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Its going to upset my family if they do pull out of Nantes as the Bournemouth to Nantes flight gets plenty of use by them...You cant book on their web site for any date at the moment Bmouth - Nantes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilko Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think the chances of R/Air pulling out of Stansted are extremely slim, non existant.FYI They announced in our local rag that they are opening 3 new routes out of Marseille............to Nantes, Lille and Gatwick. I understand that these new flights will commence end of March 09.Happy flyingWilko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollie Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yes Ryanair has stopped their flight Nantes to Stansted as I posted some time ago; No flights after 29th March. They are fliying Nantes Bournemouth though, all summer as usual. Easyjet has no flights to Nantes this year either. It has been quoted in the press that Ryanair are cutting their flights from Stansted by one third due to airport costs. I know someone who uses the nantes stansted route weekly and has now started booking Dinard Stansted. Lollie 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Ita a dream going in and out of Bournemouth ...at the moment ...The plan to expand has been passed...... some time ago .....and when it gets the new terminal I expect more airlines will want to use the place ..I use the National Bus service to get to Heathrow from Ringwood... duel carriage-way right io Heathrow terminals . .Almost as quick as using the car and no need to find an expensive car park ..I would expect that service to link both airports ..I can see Bournemouth becoming a popular airport in the future .

Lollie Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ooops Nantes to Bournemouth also disappeared!!!!
