They do it every year around this time as it's winter.
And throughout the winter. I think it was TheLocalYokel who counted in the region of 16 updates during one past winter season.

Nope these are extra because of the pilot shortage.They do it every year around this time as it's winter.

That was in the days when Ryanair would publish several different versions of their summer timetable throughout the preceding winter. The final version would invariably be significantly different to the first ones with some destinations added, others axed, some timings changed and sometimes days of the week of operation changed.And throughout the winter.

2006 (I think it was in April that year) following a reported falling-out with the airport over charges. They had been operating the DUB from CWL for about five years when they pulled out.What year did Ryanair drop Dublin? 2011 or 2012?
And they setup a base at BRS a year after. If CWL had given Ryanair what it wanted would they potentially based at CWL instead of BRS do you think? Or were they always looking at a BRS base?2006 (I think it was in April that year) following a reported falling-out with the airport over charges.

There was a lot of talk around 2005 about a CWL FR base and it would not have surprised many people had it occurred. Although the FR DUB route from BRS (18 x weekly) was more frequent than the FR from CWL (9 x weekly) - BRS also had a daily Aer Lingus mainline A320 and a daily Air Southwest Dash 8-300, and CWL had a 6 x weekly Air Wales ATR42 - and BRS also had daily Shannon and Girona FR flights from other FR bases, it was thought by many that Ryanair would set up a base at CWL to try to take on easyJet across the river.And they setup a base at BRS a year after.

As I said earlier, it's certainly possible, perhaps more than that, but we'll never know unless Ryanair tells us which they are not likely to do.For some reason i had 2011 and 2012 in my head!
I've been having a Social Media conversation with someone about it and he believes if CWL had given Ryanair what it wanted the BRS base would be at CWL instead. Personally I think they would've opened up at BRS regardless but that CWL may have scuppered its own chances of a Ryanair base.

Did Aer Lingus Use A.320s into Bristol ? i can remember BAC 1-11s followed by B.737s but dont remember any A.320s
Ryanair flight from Poznan to Bristol diverted to Cardiff after declaring an emergency due to a flaps issue and diverted to Cardiff due to the longer runway.

Pilots decision. He must have felt that even with the flap problems CWLs runway was more than enough.That's interesting. Ryanair usually diverts to BHX from BRS when the weather is an issue. I wonder why it didn't this time. CWL 2,400 metres: BHX 3,000 metres.
I wasn't really alluding to the command decision. I was wondering why when they normally go to BHX they went to CWL this time. Obviously if it was considered necessary to get the aircraft down as quickly as possible then that's the answer. If not my question remains.Pilots decision.

If i remember correctly the last time CWL had some Ryanair diverts they were Eastern European flights as well. Away based crews i believe. Though I believe this was a based aircraft.I wasn't really alluding to the command decision. I was wondering why when they normally go to BHX they went to CWL this time.
