Record St Patrick’s weekend at Ryanair

Ryanair, Ireland’s national airline, today announced record bookings on its 109 Irish routes this St Patrick’s weekend when 250,000 passengers will reaffirm Ryanair as their favourite airline.

Announcing the record bookings, Ryanair’s Peter Sherrard, said:

"We’ve added 50 new Irish routes since last March, making this our biggest St Patrick’s weekend ever. Visitors from all over Europe are coming to Ireland for the first time because Ryanair’s low fares and direct flights have made it affordable and convenient for them to do so. These visitors will spend over €100m in the Irish economy, delivering a massive boost for Irish tourism.

"Irish passengers too are using the break to jet off in record numbers this year on a choice of 75 exciting low fare destinations across 17 countries. More passengers chose Ryanair than any other airline because we offer the lowest fares, the best punctuality and no fuel surcharges guaranteed".
