As travel recovers to pre-Covid levels, Ryanair’s growth continues to lead traffic and tourism recovery across Europe.

UK families and visitors can now book a much-deserved Autumn break to one of Ryanair’s six new routes from Birmingham including Bergamo, Lisbon, Bucharest, Shannon, Turin and Vilnius.

BIRMINGHAM – 6 NEW WINTER 2021 ROUTES

Bergamo

Lisbon

Bucharest

Shannon

Turin

Vilnius

 

Ryanair’s Director of Commercial, Jason McGuinness said:

“Ryanair remains committed to re-building the UK’s tourism industry and strengthening connectivity as Ryanair continues to grow in Europe and travel returns to pre-pandemic level. As Ryanair takes delivery of 55 Boeing 737-8200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft this Winter, we are delighted to announce these six new routes from Birmingham this Winter – operating a total of 28 routes.

As travel continues to grow and consumer confidence in air travel returns, Ryanair once again calls on the UK Govt to scrap or suspend APD (air passenger duty), to allow airlines quickly recover connectivity, jobs and tourism in the aftermath of the pandemic. APD makes UK airports very uncompetitive versus Europe, where Ryanair continues to add capacity, having opened a number of bases in recent months in the likes of Zagreb, Stockholm, Billund and Riga. While Ryanair is committed to the UK and its Birmingham airport, the lack of Govt support continues to create further barriers to boosting traffic and growth.

We are launching a seat sale to celebrate the new Winter routes from Birmingham, with fares available from just £19.99 for travel until end Nov 2021, which must be booked by midnight Friday, 10th September 2021. Our customers can now book in a winter getaway to Bergamo, Lisbon, Bucharest, Shannon, Turin, Vilnius and many more.  Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com to avoid missing out.”

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (Mon 6^th Sept) announced that its negotiations with Boeing for a MAX10 order (to follow its current deliveries for 210 B737-8200 “Gamechanger” aircraft) have ended without any agreement on pricing.

Ryanair will take delivery of over 200 B737 “Gamechanger” aircraft over the next 5 years from 2021 to 2025. These deliveries will see Ryanair’s fleet grow to over 600 aircraft capable of carrying over 200m guests p.a.

Ryanair and Boeing have been in discussions about a large follow on order for Boeing MAX10 aircraft over the past 10 months. However, last week it became clear that the pricing gap between the partners could not be closed and accordingly, both sides have agreed to waste no more time on these negotiations.

 

Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:

 “We are disappointed we couldn’t reach agreement with Boeing on a MAX10 order. However, Boeing have a more optimistic outlook on aircraft pricing than we do, and we have a disciplined track record of not paying high prices for aircraft.

We have a more than sufficient order pipeline to allow us to grow strongly over the next 5 years with a Boeing 737 fleet, which will rise to over 600 aircraft and will enable Ryanair to capitalise on the extraordinary growth opportunities that are emerging all over Europe as the Continent recovers from the Covid pandemic.

We do not share Boeing’s optimistic pricing outlook, although this may explain why in recent weeks other large Boeing customers such as Delta and Jet2, have been placing new orders with Airbus, rather than Boeing”.

Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:

“Ryanair is committed to re-building the London’s tourism industry, jobs and connectivity as we grow across Europe and recover air travel to pre-Covid levels. As Ryanair takes delivery of 55 Boeing 737-8200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft this Winter, we are delighted to announce these 14 new routes from our three London airports in Stansted, Luton and Gatwick. We will also create over 500 new jobs for pilots, cabin crew and engineers this winter at our London airports as we gear up for more fleet and route growth in S2022. 

As vaccinations rise and consumer confidence returns, Ryanair again calls on the UK Govt to scrap PCR tests for fully vaccinated arrivals and also to suspend APD (air passenger duty), to allow airlines and airports quickly recover connectivity, jobs and tourism in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. APD makes UK airports uncompetitive against lower cost EU airports, which is why Ryanair has added capacity at other EU airports in recent months in the likes of Zagreb, Stockholm, Billund and Riga. While Ryanair is committed to its London airports, the lack of Govt support for aviation and tourism recovery creates further barriers to traffic and growth.

Ryanair is launching a seat sale to celebrate the 14 new Winter routes from London, with fares available from just £19.99 for travel until end Nov 2021, which must be booked by midnight Thursday, 2^nd September 2021. Our customers can now book in a sunny winter getaway to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria or Malaga or enjoy a city break to the likes of Stockholm, Naples, Helsinki and many more.  Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com to avoid missing out.”

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, and the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) today (25 Aug) celebrated the launch of their fifth year in partnership, which will help European students to finally resume their exchange projects. This partnership offers Erasmus students a dedicated ESN booking platform on the Ryanair.com website, where they can avail of 10% flight discounts on four one-way flights (2 round-trips) and a free 20kg checked-in bag with every flight booked.

Since 2017, ESN students have travelled  on even lower fares across the Ryanair network. This exclusive partnership has now reached over 500,000 bookings by Erasmus Student Network members on its exclusive dedicated platform. This year Ryanair is committed to support the recovery of mobility for Erasmus Students across Europe. Now live on www.ryanair.com, students from all Europe can again avail of these exclusive travel discounts with Ryanair.

 

Dara Brady – Ryanair’s Director of Marketing, said:

“Ryanair and ESN are proud to launch year 5 of their exclusive partnership to promote student mobility by offering university students across Europe a range of exclusive flight offers, 20kgs free bags and tailored discounts to suit their budget on our Erasmus Student Network dedicated platform. After challenging times for student mobility, Ryanair is delighted to bring support to the recovery of the incredible opportunities offered by the Erasmus program.

ESN students have travelled on even lower fares since the beginning of the ESN partnership in 2017 with over half a million bookings on the dedicated platform. We hope many more ESN students will avail of these fantastic discounts over the coming months and years. Any Erasmus student with a valid ESN card can sign up via the “MyRyanair” registration service and save even more while they travel on Europe’s biggest airline with the widest route network and the lowest fares.”

 

Juan Rayón González, President of ESN 2021/2022, said:

“The partnership between Ryanair and ESN aims to make learning mobility experiences more accessible and affordable for students all over Europe. At ESN, we believe that the transformative potential of the exchange experience is only reached if financial obstacles are removed. It shouldn’t be more difficult for less well-off students and those from Europe’s periphery to take part in learning mobility. This partnership will allow students to travel back home with free luggage, helping them to save money which they can use to make the most out of their exchange and contribute to the local economy of their hosting communities.

Accessible learning mobility allows young people from all corners of Europe and all walks of life to get to know each other, discover new realities, and develop their competences and civic engagement. Making it a possibility for everybody is the key for the future of Europe. We thank Ryanair for their contribution to this cause.”
