Ryanair announces 6th aircraft and new routes

Ryanair Profile

Ryanair will base a 6th aircraft in Shannon which will allow it to launch 2 new routes to Frankfurt-Hahn and Newcastle and 26 more weekly frequencies to destinations like Bristol, Edinburgh and Paris.

Speaking in Shannon today, Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
 
“There’s a double celebration at Shannon Airport this week. We’re celebrating the arrival of a 6th based aircraft and 2 new routes which go on sale today. With 35 low fare Ryanair routes from Shannon, the people of the mid west region can buy the guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharges all over the UK and Europe. These 26 new weekly flights will bring more than 5,000 added passengers each week to Shannon airport.  To accommodate these new routes and increased frequencies we will stop flying the Shannon-East Midland route and reduce frequencies on the Shannon-Luton route from 31st of October.
 
“To celebrate this growth at Shannon, Ryanair is offering 1 MILLION free* seats on its 773 routes across Europe for travel from October to the 15th November”.
