10 new aircraft for Ryanair

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline has announced the arrival of ten brand new aircraft to be received over the next 2 months. These aircraft deliveries, worth $700 million, will bring Europe's lowest fares to even more passengers. The aircraft will result in 50 new routes that will create 5,000 new jobs.

Speaking today, Peter Sherrard, Ryanair's Head of Communications, said:

"Ryanair's $700 million investment will create 5,000 jobs across Europe as we expand our existing bases at Barcelona Girona, East Midlands, London Stansted and launch our second German base in Bremen.

"Ryanair is starting 50 new routes all over Europe in the coming months, thanks to these aircraft, bringing even lower fares to European consumers. These new routes will provide a massive boost to local economies all over Europe with increased visitor numbers and massive savings for passengers.

"Ryanair's no fuel surcharge guarantee is widening the gap between our low fares and the high prices of our fuel surcharging competitors. This is driving demand and attracting millions of additional passengers to Ryanair".
