Yep, just read it on their corporate website.
They seem to be announcing 'New London - Toulouse Route'
But then comment on all other routes...
Is it really a base or no? I thought they were not opening anymore bases in France?

Does anyone know?

[cristi_avb]

Yes it is a new base, first in France!

[Ryanairmadrid]

But I thought that they were not opening bases in France?
I don't understand.

I don't understand.

Yeh I thought the same too I posted about it on Saturday.
I can not see anywhere that they have opened a base
Is this 400 jobs making people think it is?
Ryanair pick numbers of indirect jobs they think they would get employed even though they do not have them on payroll. They probably include in this an extra employment at a coffee shop at the airport as maybe they need them due to more flights.
It would show a real downfall to Ryanair if they did open the base and show how soft they have become

[Ryanairmadrid]

Haahaa, Sure they do include extra jobs at the airport. May be more toilet cleaners, for all the extra flights.
All of the jobs they announce, are nearly all indirect.

No, Toulouse not a base I think. Not enough evidence.

[RyanairBristol]

Those investment figure don`t make sense either
for example;
New Sofia Base To Open (No 83)
30 Mar 2016

3 AIRCRAFT, $300M INVESTMENT, 21 NEW ROUTES & 1.5M CUSTOMERS
what does the 300m mean?
FR pay? Tourist money?

[makis09]

Toulouse is not a base !

[makis09]

Yes it is a new base, first in France!

No, it's not

[Ryanairmadrid]

- Toulouse, not base due to the lack of evidence.

- $300m invesement - it refers "apparently" to the prices of the actual A/C. So $100m per aircraft.

[RyanairBristol]

Oh right
Thanks for finding out always bugged me that one.

[Ryanairmadrid]

But we all know that they do not pay the listed $100m per A/C...
