		<description><![CDATA[Just one week after Malev ceased operating we&#8217;ve compiled a list of some 44 new services that have already been announced. This includes 26 by Ryanair which at present are still not 100% confirmed. But which other carriers have stepped up and which country markets look set to benefit most? Just one week on from Malév&#8217;s collapse Budapest airport is already seeing promising signs of recovery as airlines have been quick to respond to the opportunities presented. anna.aero has compiled a handy summary table of those services that have been announced in the last seven days.

Ryanair&#8217;s just announced eight new routes to Warsaw Modlin place it on a collision course with Wizz Air. Which destinations will see direct competition and which cities are both airlines serving but from different airports? Let battle commence. It seems that Warsaw Modlin is to be location for the first major head-to-head confrontation between Ryanair and Wizz Air for the hearts and minds (and cash) of Polish travellers and those wanting to visit Warsaw. After Wizz Air last week announced a four [...]]]></description>

But which are the leading country markets it will serve? How early do the flights to Forli and Madrid depart and by what time are all the aircraft back at base? And how do you squeeze four return flights out of one aircraft in a day? Wizz Air has become the first airline to confirm that it will operate from the new Warsaw Modlin Airport when it opens later this year.

And which market does it provide as an example of the viability of the strategic move? The Asia-Pacific region appears to be where low-cost long-haul traffic will boom in the near future. In addition to existing operators AirAsia X and Jetstar, Singapore Airlines has announced its low-cost venture Scoot and Norwegian, albeit a European carrier, has announced it will base its 787s in Bangkok and Beijing from where it [...]]]></description>

Which routes was it serving and which German airports will feel particular pain at the airline&#8217;s decision? The latest victim of high fuel prices and a weakened economy in combination with the German aviation tax is that the German regional airline Cirrus Airlines ceased operations at the end of last week and has filed for bankruptcy. The airline, headquartered in Saarbrücken on the German border to France, has now grounded its fleet of [...]]]></description>

Budapest would appear to have &#8216;kissed and made up&#8217; as Ryanair returns after an 18 month hiatus. Three of the five new routes are to the UK but how has the UK &#8211; Hungary market developed since the mid-90s? After an 18-month hiatus, Ryanair has announced that it will be returning to Hungary this summer, with the introduction of five routes to Budapest.

Virgin America this week revealed that Philadelphia International Airport would become its 17th destination, with the introduction of three daily flights from Los Angeles (starting 4 April), and two daily flights from San Francisco (starting 10 April).

What frequencies will be offered on each route and which two country markets account for half of the routes? What indirect competition will there be from Cyprus&#8217; other airport at Larnaca? Ryanair has announced Paphos in Cyprus as its 50th base, and fourth new base for 2012 (following Karlsruhe-Baden, Billund and Palma de Mallorca). Unlike these other airports, Ryanair does not currently serve Paphos. From the beginning of April, a total of 14 [...]]]></description>

And where is the focus of Ryanair&#8217;s new routes? Since launching flights to Palma de Mallorca in March 2007 (from London Stansted), Ryanair has carried around 5.7 million passengers to and from the airport.

		<description><![CDATA[Norwegian has announced 34 new routes starting next summer from nine Nordic airports. But which non-Nordic airport will benefit most? And why is anna.aero&#8217;s Deputy Editor particularly pleased? Europe’s third biggest LCC, Norwegian, has unveiled plans to launch a further 34 new routes starting next summer. From nine Nordic airports, the new routes (of which 30 are international and just four domestic) will raise the carrier’s network to some 300 routes.

		<description><![CDATA[India&#8217;s SpiceJet is taking delivery of four factory-fresh Q400s this month. Which new routes will it launch with the aircraft, what competition will it face, and how will each aircraft be scheduled?
