Does anyone know where and by whom the Ryanair and European Air Charter elderly aircraft are maintained? I assume they have no 'in house' facilities for major servicing.

One must wonder a bit about Ryanair. Flying such old aircraft on so many short sectors each day must put extra stress on their aeroplanes. I realise they are gradually re-equiping with 737/800s but I don't know when the 200 series will be completely phased out.

Hi, You've got to remember Ryanair's 732's are only an average of 20yrs old, which really isnt any age for an aircraft if you think we still have 707's surfing the skys. In relation to your question Ryanair do have there own Maintanence facility (how large it is i'm not sure) but I may be wrong but I think FLS Aerospace do some maintanence as I remember seeing a FR aircraft in the hanger at Dublin when I went there with FR. In case you where wondering, Ryanairs cabin is pleasent and comfortable onboard the 732's, it is slightly noisey but thats not to much of a problem. The Cabin Crew are friendly and helpfull and they manage to fit Duty Free, Meals and Drinks all into a 35 minutes flight from MAN-DUB. Amazing.

Thanks

Thanks for the information about Ryanair's maintenance facilities. I think some of their 737-200s may be former Britannia Airways equipment and I flew frequently on these in the 1980s.

My point about Ryanair is the number of sectors flown in the day. Landings and take-offs obviously put the most strain on any aircraft and 20-year old aircraft are not in the first flush of youth. Remember the Aloha Airlines 737 that lost part of its roof? That airline had similar short hops to Ryanair which contributed to the incident.

I am a supporter and user of low cost airlines, though I have not used Ryanair, for the simple reason that they do not fly from an airport near me to anywhere I have yet wanted to go. However, that could change.
