Southern France route added to Ryanair roster

Ryanair is to launch a three times weekly service from London Luton to Biarritz.

It is estimated that the low cost carrier’s new route will bring a further 40,000 people a year through the airport.

The carrier will start flying to the South of France destination on November 4.

Ryanair sales and marketing manager Bridget Dowling said: “This new route to Biarritz means that passengers will have an additional link to Europe from Luton. We’re confident that the route will prove just as successful as our recently-announced routes to Derry, Szczecin, Kaunas, Trapani (Sicily), Rzeszow and Beziers.”
