Ryanair possibly closing all its bases in the Canary Islands

[Will]

Didn't even know they had a base. Which island has the base? Closing the base doesn't mean cutting flights. It just means the planes and crew won't be parked in the Canary islands. 

Not surprising they've cut flights in Germany. They just bought Lauda air which I think has a fair bit of traffic going to/from Germany

Ryanair has 3 bases on the Canary Islands since summer 2011 with 2 aircrafts each based at Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife.

I doubt any of those planes  fly to Fuerteventura.  Yes?

I would think that Ryanair like most airlines will be concentrating on non EU destinations from the U.K. from next April but all EU internal flights would continue as usual.

[Rasputin]

Yes but maybe not just as often.

I agree but the majority of air passengers are theblowly commuters coming or going to their chosen profession.

That's what we do too, commuting from Fuerteventura to the UK.

Oh I thought migrate in the opposite direction to the swallows was more like it. BTW I don’t commute between the U.K.  and anywhere ?.

Shades of 2009 maybe?

Hopefully not FT.

 I remember it well John having to curtail our stay by a few days to get the last Fr flight to Lpl. I'm still wondering where the last 10 years have gone.

I remember having to route Dublin to Madrid with Ryanair spend about 5 hours in Madrid then EasyJet Madrid to Fuerteventura, and on the way back we had to overnight in Madrid, strange thing was the costs were similar to that of the direct flights prior to Ryanair pulling off the island but we lost a days holiday on the way out having to spend 5 hrs in Madrid and lost another day on the way back.

We flew with with budget travel a couple of times from Dublin and thomas cook two or three times from Belfast. We also came over with some other travel company  via Dublin. I can’t remember the name but Monarch was airline. Then of course we had the Icelandic volcano that I never could pronounce or spell, but we got to Fuerteventura through thick and thin.

We that love the island will always find a way ???

As long as they fly Dublin to Fuerteventura on Tuesday and Saturday and Aer Lingus keep the route going we Irish will get there. Also EasyJet do a two times per week from Belfast Int. 
And if all fruit fails we can use Jet2. That’s if they are still in operation as I’m not sure what way they have their EU license needs covered.

I should point out EasyJet only fly Belfast to Fuerteventura in the winter months. I must say their prices are great. Out late November return early December €129 inc seats for both of us.
