Ryanair today announced that it will add two new routes from East Midlands Airport in July - to Barcelona (Reus) and Palma. Ryanair now has thirty-four routes from East Midlands and the latest two will increase Ryanair’s traffic at the airport to over 2 million passengers per annum which will sustain 2,000 local jobs.

Ryanair will close its East Midlands to Paris (Beauvais) route from July to accommodate these two new routes.
