Tags :UK, Ryanair

Ryanair announced that from November it will base two new aircraft in Madrid, open four new routes (Alicante, Palma, Santiago and Valencia) and double the frequencies on three existing routes (Dublin, Milan and Santander) as it adds 75 new weekly rotations at its Madrid base.

 

Ryanair will now offer six domestic and 17 international routes from Madrid on six based aircraft.

The Madrid – Dublin and Madrid – Santander routes will increase to double daily while Madrid - Milan increases to three times daily.  This increase in fleet, routes and frequencies, which will begin on Tuesday 18-Nov-08, will see Ryanair base 6 aircraft in Madrid, carry over 2.6million passengers p.a., support 2,600 jobs, deliver an annual tourist spend of EUR260million and save passengers over EUR285million compared to Iberia’s high fares and fuel surcharges.

Celebrating the launch of these two aircraft and four new routes, Ryanair launched a winter seat sale with 1million EUR1 seats (incl taxes and charges), for travel only in October, November and December.


Announcing the new aircraft and routes Ryanair’s, Michael O’Leary, said:


“Ryanair is delighted to announce two new aircraft, four new routes and 75 new weekly frequencies at Madrid. Only Ryanair guarantees the lowest fares and no fuel surcharge and Ryanair will continue to offer Spanish consumers competition and choice over the high fares and fuel surcharges which Iberia has imposed on them on domestic routes for so many years now.”
