Ryanair announce seven new routes
14.01.09
Ryanair has announced the launch of 7 new flights from Edinburgh Airport, bringing its total routes to 30 and making the airport its biggest Scottish hub. It will also add two Boeing 737-800 planes to its Edinburgh base.
The new routes, which all take off between 30 March and 1 April, are to Carcassonne, Limoges and Poitiers in France, Leipzig (Altenburg) in Germany, Zadar in Croatia, Rome and Malta. All but Rome and Malta are new routes from Scotland. There will also be more flights from Edinburgh to Alicante and Düsseldorf (Weeze) this spring.
Ryanair says that the changes will increase annual passenger numbers at Edinburgh Airport to almost 2 million, sustain 2000 jobs and bring almost £210m in tourism money to the region. Gordon Dewar, the airport's managing director, said the expansion was a ‘fantastic vote of confidence’ in the city.
