Just a small note that LPL-GLA is being dropped from the 8th of August onwards. Maybe flybe have over-estimated the need for the GLA service. It did go double daily for goodness sake from last month!
Very sad, hopefully this won’t deter flybe’s possible expantion from LPL.
Also Ryanair are thinking of dropping LPL-Nimes. IMO who wants to fly from Liverpool to Nimes!!!
Also another RYR destenation is under spotlight, personally i think its Granada, or Reus, but that’s my opinion. Hopefully we won’t see a big reduction is services from my “closest” airport! 🙁

I hope HHN will be started with the “spare” a/c, or possibly Stockholm, that would be good as we need a loco connection to Scandinavia from the NW!

Apparently Nimes Airport may have to close

Looking at those figures, you can’t say they are doing badly, nothing wrong wiv those figures considering the time the routes have operated. I could only see Shannon being dropped, certainly anything getting 70-80% loads will not be touched.
It’s no surprise with the Flybe Glasgow service, considering it was only 1X daily, it was never going to do very well if business passengers cannot do a day return.

If they’re dropping Nimes, then it may be Limoges as the other destination as one operates the former operates 4 weekly and the latter 3 weekly with the aircraft being LPL based. This does raise the prospect of them perhaps launching a daily Hahn service using the “spare” sectors.
The provisional passenger stats for Ryanair’s non-Dublin services in May are as follows:
Shannon 6131 =55.93% load (SNN based aircraft)
Treviso 7274 = 62.12% load
Nimes 4339 = 63.77% load
Cork 8098 = 69.11% load
Limoges 3938 = 69.15% load
Pisa 8193 = 69.92% load
Rome 8243 =70.34% load
Bergamo 8452 =72.12% load
Granada 8945 = 76.33% load
Murcia 9976 = 85.13% load
Gerona 10048 = 85.75% load
Reus 10055 = 85.81% load
All assumed 189 passenger capacity aircraft used and off the timetable which I’ve got recorded.
