They wouldn't be telling porkies now would they? A check of the AL flight status web showed the early Faro, Barcelona and Madrid flights all running on time or early. All operate through the Spanish sectors.

I'm screenshotting the airport departures list every half hour or so as I expect a fight over 261.

The FR flights from here to Brussels, London, Paris etc are leaving within 20mins of sked and all operate through Spanish airspace. OPO-DUB probably has the shortest time in Spanish ATC of the lot!

They're getting to London fine.

Looks like an entire frame is out today as a later flight is cancelled entirely

Ryanair operate oceanic routes too. Canaries, Lisbon, Faro etc.

Those were the old days. Very few of the FR aircraft had HF radios fitted. Nowadays the Tango routes are approved for them.

Flew Hamburg Dublin this morning

Bused to the plane but we were all boarded 10 minutes before the expected flight start time so things running like a dream

Then we went nowhere and 10 minutes after our expected start time another crew of pilots and cabin staff in their uniforms and hi vis got on. Must be getting a lift to Dublin and they found whatever spare seats they could get

However 10 minutes after that the captain said we had missed our slot to take off and we would have to wait 20 minutes but they had requested the next available and we expect to leave in 5-10 minutes

In the end our 10:15 departure took off at 10:50

It was pure needless, everyone was on and we were set to go. I've been in many delays sure we all have but I was never delayed by another crew, oh well

I wouldn’t even consider that a delay to be honest, you left 35 mins after the scheduled departure, that kind of time would be built into the block time of most flights anyway

Fair enough, but were you late on arrival?
Did they play the God awful bloody music?

not a CTOT breach ? Sounds like a CTOT miss and back into the pot

FR 1182 SNN - LGW departed nearly 2 hrs. late this evening.

Is this likely to just get worse and worse as the summer goes on and more of their pilots use up their hours allowance? Or do Ryanair have anything in the works to help mitigate the problem - big batches of new hires or anything?

L1011

5h44 total delay admitted by FR - seems about right and not something that requires checking exactly as its well over the 261 level and well under what my travel insurance starts paying out for (8h)

The email says the details are for travel insurance claims and never mentions 261!

It'll get worse.

Ryanair are hemorrhaging staff.
They can't retain Captains and despite their attempts to recruit experienced Captains from Brazil, South Africa and the Middle East the shortage is only going to continue.

Management have failed to address their employees concerns and so staff continue to leave for better treatment.

It seems MOL is unable to change his management style. He's incapable of seeing his staff as important assets, rather he views them as an unnecessary financial burden.
But what else would you expect from an accountant!

Due take off from Rome at 21:00 on Sunday back to Dublin. Boarded at approx 21:40 only to be told due to the strike in France air traffic was restricted and our time slot was another 1 hours and 30 minutes away. Full plan, ready to go but no joy. About 23:00 local time we finally took off arrived in Dublin 2 hours late about 1:15am.

Happy to be home but didn't enjoy the 7am wake up for work. Poor couple behind us needed a bis back to Limerick missed the last 1 and I think the said the next 1 was at 06:30am...

Also Dublin/Rome last week, delayed out of DUB T1 on June 4 by more than an hour, same on return out of CIA on June 9, don't know if it was solely down to delays but Ciampino isn't fit for purpose, it was dangerously rammed with Ryan Air customers queuing at the gates for various flights, first time ever delayed on Ryan Air, twice in the one week was annoying

I've one other Ryanair flight later in the year, will be p1ssed of if delayed as could have taken later flight home with AL & had extra beach time, we are flying out with AL

FR908 STN-ORK just departed Stansted at 02:05, was originally to depart at 16:50

On a flight to Fuertaventura this morning from Dublin. Push back happened on time at 7.40. We are still sitting here though. Large queue of aircraft in front of us. I can see 4 Aer lingus, 2 Ryanair and an Ethiopian

EI have significantly superior on time performance at Dublin than FR.

my experience is completely the opposite of this. i stopped flying regularly with AL because of constant delays several years ago. i flew with them for work 2 weeks ago and delayed 1 hour .

i would say the last 50 Ryanair flights that i have been on have all landed when they were supposed to bar maybe 1 or 2 flights.

im actually baffled that anybody would say Ryanair has time issues when they are from my experience, the most efficient airline around right now.

You're baffled by facts then - not a good thing!

I'm not stating opinion - I'm stating fact. EI have the best on time performance of any airline of scale at DUB.

I wont question your experience but Dublin airport keep records. EI were the most punctual airline there in 2017, each month in fact. They were also the most punctual airline overal in 2017 at Heathrow.
I remember their blog/facebook made a big deal about it.
Of course this doesnt mean they didnt have delays, just that they dodged more delays than the other airlines.

You should probably get on to the DAA and tell them both your flights were on time so they can update their league table...

Was that most punctual to the UK or was it all in ????

daa record stats for each pier/stand area as well as individual airlines. There has been a serious decline with FR in DUB but also across the network. Baggage, more congested airports, ATC, Crew and so on.

If I can remember they were around 10% ahead of FR but suspect the gap may have narrowed this year a little.

EI made a big deal of OTP in recent years, most notable adjusting handling contracts in Europe (mainly Italy).

I wonder also how much delay the new baggage policy at Ryanair is having? People aren't bringing less, but a mound of it is now ending up in the hold.

I don’t think it’s worse, the problem before was having to tag and offload the bags from inside the cabin which caused serious boarding delays. Now generally enough bags are pre tagged at the gate so the just have to loaded on and the boarding should be much faster too, guess it’s too new for real statistics to be gathered yet

No update on Pprune thread of 'Ryanair cancelling flights' for quite sometime. So, when do people think FR difficulties will make media headlines?
