5 DAYS UNTIL LOWEST FARE REVOLUTION COMES TO BELFAST
100,000 £5 SEATS TO CELEBRATE
Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Thursday, 25th October 2007)
started the five day countdown to the launch of its Belfast base by releasing
100,000 seats for just £5, including taxes and charges, for travel in November,
December and January across all of its new routes from Belfast City to East
Midlands, Glasgow, Liverpool and London.
Ryanair's new routes from Belfast have attracted record advance bookings, with
100,000 seats already sold, confirming that passengers in Northern Ireland can't
get enough of our guaranteed lowest fares.
From 30th October, Ryanair will base a brand new $70m Boeing 737-800 aircraft at
Belfast City Airport and will guarantee the lowest fares from any Belfast
airport. If passengers find a lower fare on the same city routes with any other
airline from any Belfast or Lough Neagh airport, Ryanair will pay out double the
difference, only Ryanair guarantees the lowest fares.
Speaking in Belfast today, Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary said:
'In just 5 day's time, Ryanair will revolutionise air travel to/from
Belfast by guaranteeing the lowest fares from Belfast City or Lough
Neagh airport. Over the next year, 600,000 passengers will fly with
Ryanair to and from Belfast, saving £20 million compared to BMI and
Easyjet's high fares, while generating a tourism spend of over £100m and
sustaining 600 local jobs.
'Passengers who haven't already joined Ryanair's lowest fare revolution
can still do so during our five day countdown sale with 100,000 seats on
offer for just £5 including taxes and charges. We urge all passengers to
book straight away as demand for Northern Ireland's guaranteed lowest
fares will be huge'.
