It is strange what Ryanair are doing compared with the other airlines. Could it be that they don't have any spare aircraft to send out and bring holiday makers home - or is it just all about money? Ryanair operating 'full schedule' to wildfire-hit Greece as Europe heatwave fails to deter holidaymakers Europe's largest airline by passenger numbers says it is watching the situation in Greece carefully while revealing a four-fold increase in first quarter profits. James Sillars Business reporter @SkyNewsBiz Monday 24 July 2023 11:43, UK 1:29 Ryanair: Still flying people in and out of Greek islands Why you can trust Sky News Ryanair says it is operating a "full schedule" to wildfire-hit Greece including the island of Rhodes as evacuation flights get under way. The company's chief financial officer also said, while revealing the airline's first quarter results, that there had been no surge of cancellations due to the record-setting heatwave hitting southern Europe more widely. Neil Sorahan said Europe's largest carrier by passenger numbers had not deemed it necessary to put on additional flights to the Greek island of Rhodes at this time. Britons wait for rescue flights in Rhodes - as second heatwave looming - live updates He told Sky's Business Live with Ian King: "Airports remain open so we're continuing to fly in there. "We've got a number of customers who are keen to come home, some people still want to do down there so we'll continue to fly in and out and as long as it's safe to do so and as long as the airports remain open, we'll be there. "We haven't seen a huge amount of cancellations. We have seen a number of people looking to reaccommodate themselves onto earlier flights obviously out of the islands." He saw no current need for additional evacuation flights as airlines and tour operators move to manage their schedules to best-serve their customers' needs. Jet2, TUI and Correndon have all cancelled flights to Rhodes over the next few days. Thomas Cook has cancelled some upcoming holidays and is offering other customers full refunds. Ryanair rival, easyJet, has two repatriation flights due to leave Rhodes later on Monday. Another is planned for Tuesday while Jet2 has also revealed plans for three additional flights from the island. Mr Sorahan was speaking as authorities in Corfu began evacuations of tourists by sea.

when it gets to 22C I'ts too hot for me. Fortunately the jet Stream has been looking after me for the past few days

There isn't anything definite just that they are still looking for a 'Main Contractor' to complete phase 2 :-

@_pauls the web address '.................. co.uk' suggests an independent web site. Where did you find that address Paul? All I can find is a link with https://www.advancenorthumberland.co.uk/latest-projects/bedlington-town-centre site but like you can't find anything either on the www or the Advance Northumberland site about 'investinginbedlington. This screen shot shows my Google search of the 'investinginbedlington.co.uk' address and the search result takes you to the Advance Northumberland site :-

Cheers Vic - I haven't seen the kids planned journey but I know they have picked out places to visit and I will see their full itinerary eventually. At the moment all I know is after they picked out sights to see they then went to the Travel Agents and arranged the 'Pit Stops' through the agents and i believe there is a flight arranged for one place to visit. I would love to have been mobile enough to join them on this holiday but will just have to listen, with envy, when they return.
