This was the status of European airspace this afternoon:

Ryanair has today announced that it is to open its 38th base at Malaga in June 2010 with four based aircraft and 19 new routes being launched.

Ryanair is to open seven new routes in the autumn from Rygge airport (50kms from Oslo) and four new routes from Oslo (Torp).

MOST of us by now, I suspect, have a Ryanair horror story to tell. Mine involved a late evening flight back from Italy last November which was suddenly cancelled.
