Wednesday, 03 Apr, 2008 0

Ryanair will add five new aircraft at its Barcelona Girona base as part of a major expansion.

The extra aircraft will increase Ryanair’s Girona routes to 75 and passenger numbers to 8 million a year by 2012.

Ryanair deputy CEO Michael Cawley said: “Ryanair started flying from Barcelona Girona, our first Spanish airport, in 2002 and the partnership has been a phenomenal success.

“This expansion will see Ryanair’s investment at the airport rise to 14 aircraft worth $1 billion.

“We congratulate the Catalan region’s success in securing this low cost agreement against robust competition from other low cost, efficient European airports which will now place business and tourism throughout Catalonia on a fast track for growth”.
