From 27 October, the airline will operate new flights to Paris, six days a week starting from £26.99* as well as a new weekly service to Lyon from 4 January 2025 with fares starting from £29.99*.
The new route to Lyon will provide more options for those planning a ski holiday, alongside easyJet’s existing route from Newcastle to Geneva which will increase to three times weekly during the winter season.
easyJet will also offer even more choice for passengers travelling to Amsterdam, with flights increasing to daily across the winter season.
The airline’s latest investment comes in addition to year-round flights to Belfast and Bristol, up to five-weekly summer flights to Majorca and a twice-weekly service to Alicante in Spain.

Another new route..
Interesting this one as it uses the RK Ryanair UK flight numbers indicating a G-RUK based aircraft and potential domestic routes coming ?

Indeed, the RK flight numbers can be done by some EI- registered aircraft, as they are in the LBA and BHX examples posted above.
Originally when Ryanair set up the UK AOC, as required after Brexit, they re-registered just one aircraft to it and tried to operate all UK-DOM/NON EU routes as leased in by the EI- register. The CAA however put a stop to that and some sort of agreement was put in place to ensure a certain amount of flying with the UK AOC is actually performed on G- registered aircraft. I don't know the details or to what extent, but it certainly still allows at least for some RK flights to be operated by airframes other than those in the UK register.
In other words, don't get your hopes up for a STN service just because of this. Plus, given the crackdown on domestic flying in some rather current pledges I could not see this route ever starting without some form of political challenge.

Flights that are operated by G registered aircraft’s will be advertised as “operated by Ryanair UK” on Ryanair’s website at point of booking which is a requirement.
For the routes you referenced, they’re advertised as by Ryanair and not Ryanair UK.
It is subject to change but it would suggest the flight will be operated by Ryanair UK.
Regardless of which part of Ryanair is operating it, great to see another route alongside Jet2.
Is there more to come from easyJet? The easyJet thread suggests some future capacity displacement to come from Gatwick.

Planned aircraft G-TUKF went tech. G-TUKO positioned in from Gatwick to replace it and went tech. I'm just putting 2 and 2 together - happy to be corrected.
G-TUKF was made serviceable during this time and resumed it's flying with the tea time Heraklion pretty much on time, the early morning Tenerife still not operated and rescheduled for tomorrow.

A few months ago I was returning from Barcelona with Ryan Air and, using Flightradar24, it looked as though the plane coming to pick us up went tech in Ibiza.
It didn't take very long at all for FR to nick a plane from another route for us and on we got.
After 30-45 minutes that went tech as they couldn't close the main door.
Once again, I was very impressed with how well it was sorted, not even having to go back into the terminal building, and we got to NCL not far over the auto compensation time.
Once again, again, they made it very easy to claim the compensation and it was paid out in a few days.
I really wish that FR would get the higher reputation than they have and that they deserve.
Their boarding process was spot-on as well.

However this is another example of the terrible customer service that Newcastle Airport provides. Passenger flights are their whole reason for existing. Other airports would suspend the works if there were so many flights inbound. That's over 1100 people facing a long coach journey back to Newcastle in the middle of the night plus the expense of the airline repositioning their aircraft back to Newcastle to operate this mornings flights. With this plus the frequent ATC closures due to their lack of staff, It's almost as if the airport doesn't understand the operating needs of the airport. The airlines won't be happy about this at all.

But if the runway work isn't done you wind up with the surface potentially degrading to the point where emergency work has to be done at short notice during the day. This has occured at STN and EDI.
Also, given the runway closure I suspect cover in air traffic and ground services staffing levels would have been reduced too. There is no point in paying people to be sat around thumb twiddling.
