Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Tuesday, 27th February 2007)
welcomed the arrival of ten brand new aircraft that it will receive over the
next 2 months. These aircraft deliveries, worth $700 million will bring Europe's
lowest fares to even more passengers. The aircraft will result in 50 new routes
that will create 5,000 new jobs.
Speaking today, Peter Sherrard, Ryanair's Head of Communications, said:
'Ryanair's $700 million investment will create 5,000 jobs across Europe
as we expand our existing bases at Barcelona Girona, East Midlands,
London Stansted and launch our second German base in Bremen.
'Ryanair is starting 50 new routes all over Europe in the coming months,
thanks to these aircraft, bringing even lower fares to European
consumers. These new routes will provide a massive boost to local
economies all over Europe with increased visitor numbers and massive
savings for passengers.
'Ryanair's no fuel surcharge guarantee is widening the gap between our
low fares and the high prices of our fuel surcharging competitors. This
is driving demand and attracting millions of additional passengers to
Ryanair'.
