Ryanair ‘could add more Manchester routes’
03.09.11
Ryanair would consider adding more services from Manchester Airport if its new base proves a success, the MEN reports. The budget airline will launch its new hub in two months’ time and has already sold 20,000 seats for its winter programme. There has been huge demand for its Oslo service in particular, from Scandinavian football fans eager to follow both Manchester United and City this season. The Canary Islands are also proving popular with winter sun seekers.
In July, Ryanair announced it would open a new base at the airport, with 17 winter routes, growing to 26 routes by the summer of 2012, operating 260 flights a week. Marketing executive Maria Macken told the MEN: ‘We are eight weeks away from opening the base and things are looking very good. We will consider adding routes to the summer service if things go well. Announcing the base was a huge step for us, as Manchester is one of the most important airports in the UK.’
