Birmingham expansion for Ryanair

Friday, 22 July 20163 min read

Ryanair has announced three new routes from Birmingham for summer 2017.

Flights will operate twice a week to Chania in Crete and to Reus, Spain, and three times a week to Girona, Spain.

Meanwhile, Ryanair is adding two new summer services to Sofia and Warsaw, and more flights to Faro, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Palma and Tenerife.

It means the airline will grow traffic by 20% and will be operating its largest ever schedule from Birmingham.

Faro will go daily, Ibiza six times a week and Palma 11 times a week.

The schedule is also being released three months earlier than last year.

The announcement comes just after Jet2.com and Jet2holidays unveiled Birmingham as their eighth UK base, launching 15 destinations for summer 2017 – Alicante, Crete, Faro, Fuerteventura, Girona, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Lanzarote, Majorca, Malaga, Menorca, Paphos, Reus, Rhodes and Tenerife.

Flights to Alicante, Faro and Majorca will be daily and the first will take off on March 30.
