RYANAIR LAUNCHES 1ST DOMESTIC ROUTES IN FRANCE AND GERMANY
MARSEILLE - PARIS AND FRANKFURT - BERLIN
25,000 SEATS - €10 ALL IN
Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Wednesday, 19th March 2008)
announced that its first domestic routes in France (Marseille to Paris) and
Germany (Frankfurt to Berlin) will start in May. For too long, French and German
passengers have been forced to suffer Air France and Lufthansa's high fares and
fuel surcharges for the 'privilege' of air travel within their own countries.
These new routes will slash the cost of domestic travel and will save French and
German consumers over €26m per annum.
Welcoming the announcement, Ryanair's Peter Sherrard said:
'French and German passengers will now enjoy Ryanair's guaranteed
lowest fares within their own countries. 200,000 German passengers
will save €20m p.a. and 60,000 French passengers will save €6m p.a.
compared to Lufthansa and Air France's high fares.
'These two new routes will go on sale from 10.00am tomorrow, and to
celebrate, Ryanair is releasing 25,000 seats on these routes for
just €10 including taxes until midnight Monday. We advise passengers
to book immediately as our guaranteed lowest fares will sell in
record time'.
Ends. Wednesday, 19th March 2008
