Ryanair launches 14 new European routes for winter

Ryanair has announced 14 new routes across Europe to be launched in October 2008, including 5 new UK routes - from Bournemouth to Milan and Paris, and from Glasgow to Faro, Malaga and Tenerife. This latest expansion brings Ryanair’s network to over 660 routes for Winter 08, and includes services to four new airports, Lille (France), Agadir, Nador and Tangier (Morocco).

Speaking today, Ryanair’s Bridget Dowling said:

“Over 60 million passengers will save over £6bn by choosing Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares over our high fare competitors this year. This latest 14 route expansion will deliver low fares to Agadir, Lille, Nador and Tangier for the first time. Our five new UK routes will meanwhile provide passengers with lower fares and better punctuality compared to the high fares levied by our competitors.

“To celebrate these new routes, we are giving away 500,000 £10 one-way seats for travel in June and July and we recommend passengers to book these £10 seats immediately on ryanair.com, as demand for these guaranteed lowest fares will ensure that they’re snapped up quickly.”
