Ryanair mounts Bristol challenge
Ryanair is to mount a West Country challenge against easyJet by establishing a base at Bristol airport.
The Irish budget carrier is to establish a network of 13 routes by basing two aircraft at the airport from this winter.
The new base is being launched with an offer of 100,000 seats at £10 each including taxes and charges for one week on the airline’s website.
Bristol will be Ryanair’s 20th European base with plans to run 16 routes by 2008 carrying more than a million passengers, doubling to two million passengers in 2009.
Destinations to be served from Novemeber are Bratislava, Budapest, Derry, Dinard, Katowice, Knock, Milan, Porto, Poznan, Riga, Rzeszow and Wroclaw, followed by Salzburg in December.
Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary claimed: “This investment will deliver passenger savings of over £30 million per annum compared to easyJet’s high fares while generating a visitor spend of £250 million which will sustain 2,000 jobs in the region.”
