Ryanair add 12 new Bristol Airport routes
15.01.09
Ryanair defied the credit crunch to announce 12 new European routes from Bristol Airport - creating 100 new jobs. The new flights will mean that Irish airline now has 33 routes from Bristol - just seven fewer than rival easyJet. Ryanair will also base two more aircraft at the airport, a £180 million investment that brings its Bristol-based aircraft to four.
The 12 new Ryanair routes from Bristol Airport are Limoges, Toulon, Montpellier and Perpignan in France; Trieste, Rimini and Cagliari in Italy; Malta, Eindhoven in the Netherlands; plus Spanish flights to Alicante, Barcelona Reus and Seville, where Filton plane giant Airbus has a major plant. All new flights will begin in July, except Eindhoven, whose flights begin on March 31.
The new routes mean Bristol Airport now offers 119 destinations across Europe and worldwide. Shaun Browne, aviation director at the airport, said: ‘The launch of 12 new routes shows the strength of the market in the South West.‘
