Cancelled flight

It was cleared by European regulators last week but not by the FAA yet although it's expected soon. Ryanair expect theirs to be delivered towards the end of the year.

Some interesting discussions going on on both sides of the argument. The guy who landed the airbus in the Hudson River is not convinced yet that it's safe.

I have been following the fortunes of EasyJet and Ryanair closely.

Easy has closed several UK bases - Stanstead, Newcastle and Southend and they are in pretty dire financial straits. They have a signed up commitment to buy quite a number of aircraft that they are trying to get out of but will inevitably become costly. Ryanair are reducing routes, bases and their daily slots even ahead and in excess of their usual Winter slowdown.

I think "we" are lucky using ALC as its sure to be one of the more reasonable load factors and routes they fly. BUT I think when Brexit is in effect after January they will locate & base their Alicante / UK fleet at ALC. Early rising for your homeward flight will be the cheaper norm I believe
