Irish Man And Italian Woman Scoop €100k Each Following Purchase Of €2 Ryanair Charity Scratchcards
Ryanair, Europe’s no. 1 airline for making dreams come true is today (11 Aug) pleased to announce that not one, but two of its lucky customers have scooped €100,000 each, having had the chance to play for a life-changing €1,000,000 in separate ‘Win A Million’ games. Lorena Faitini from Bergamo in Italy and Brendan Finnegan from Co. Monaghan in Ireland purchased their Ryanair charity scratch cards while flying Ryanair’s lowest fares to Spain and Italy respectively, and were entered into a draw for the chance to travel to Dublin to play for €1m having revealed a ‘YES’ on their lucky cards.
The two contestants each played for their chance to win €1m in separate nail-biting ‘Win A Million’ games held in Dublin this week, scooping €100,000 each in prize winnings. Ryanair partners with some incredible charity projects and is committed to raising vital funds for its scratch card partners across Europe including The Jack & Jill Foundation, Make A Wish Italy, Kinderhilfe Germany, Naomi House & Jacksplace UK and many more. The Ryanair Foundation has contributed over €10m to designated charities across Europe and will continue supporting these long-standing partnerships that rely on the support and generosity of Ryanair’s customers.
Ryanair’s Director of Marketing, Dara Brady said:
“It has been a pleasure meeting Lorena and Brendan this week at our ‘Win A Million’ events. Ryanair has supported seven charity partners through its scratch card sales over the last 5 years – generating millions of Euro for some amazing causes. Brendan and Lorena won €100,000 each with the purchase of a €2 scratch card and leave today with life changing sums to enjoy with their friends and families.
Customers who buy Ryanair’s scratch cards are also helping a range of charities across Europe, who receive ongoing donations, so look out for our scratch cards on your next Ryanair flight and you could be our next winner.”
Please see reaction comments from each of the prize-winners.
Lorena from Italy said:
“I feel completely overjoyed, and may still be in some shock having won €100,000! The difference that this win will make both for my family and myself is hard to put into words. I cannot wait to host a celebration party for all my friends and family and look forward to lots of travel in the future with my winnings. I will also be in a position to close my home loan which is amazing! I purchased the scratch card on a flight to Seville as I was feeling lucky that day and sometimes dreams do come true!
The work that Make-A-Wish carry out in Italy is so incredible. Children are so special and sacred to me, and this organization would not be able to carry out the work they do without the support from charity partners such as Ryanair.
Brendan from Ireland said:
“This has been an incredible experience, one that I will never forget. Never in a million years did I think when I bought the scratch card on a flight to Italy did I picture making it all the way to this ‘Win A Million’ event today. I knew of Ryanair’s charity partnerships with the likes of Jack and Jill here in Ireland and €2 for a scratch card is not a lot of money to part with in the name of charity. It’s a win-win, I’ve just walked away with €100,000 for my family and my fiancée Michelle as we start our life together and these amazing hard-working charities benefit from the generosity of Ryanair and its customers.
After the year that has been, and the luck that that flight to Italy brought to me, I will be whisking my fiancée on a trip back to Italy ASAP – flying Ryanair of course!”

2 Based Aircraft, $200m Investment, 12 New Routes
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (05 August) announced a new base opening in Newcastle for Summer ’22, with two based aircraft, 63 departing flights per week and 19 routes in total, including 12 new connections to a host of international destinations across Europe from March ‘22. The new base will support jobs and tourism and will give a much needed boost to UK customers and the UK economy.
Ryanair’s new Newcastle base will deliver:
- Two based aircraft ($200m investment)
- 60 direct jobs
- 400+ indirect jobs
- 19 routes in total
- 12 new routes to destinations such as Zadar, Paphos, Chania, Milan, Riga, Ibiza, Menorca, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Krakow
Ryanair has already seen very high demand for low fare flights from Newcastle airport this summer, as UK customers take a much deserved break and fly to popular destinations such as Palma, Malaga, Alicante and Faro and these customers can now also look forward to having even more choice next summer with the addition of 12 new routes including Chania, Zadar, Paphos and many more popular destinations.
To celebrate the launch of Newcastle’s Summer ’22 schedule, Ryanair has launched a seat sale with fares from £26.99 for travel until 31st October 2022 which must be booked by midnight Sunday, 8th August only on the Ryanair.com website.
Ryanair CEO, Eddie Wilson said:
“We are delighted to launch a new UK base, which represents a $200m investment at Newcastle. This development will create over 60 direct jobs and offer our UK customers a host of European hotspots to choose from next Summer, including popular destinations such as Paphos, Chania, Menorca, Ibiza and Zadar.
We have seen massive demand for flights from Newcastle this summer as UK customers flock to the beaches of Spain and Portugal and now customers will have much wider choice next summer with the addition of these 12 new routes.
To celebrate, we are launching a seat sale with fares available from just £26.99 for travel until 31st October 2022, which must be booked by midnight Sunday, 8th August. Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com to avoid missing out.”
Nick Jones, Chief Executive at Newcastle International Airport said:
“Today’s announcement from Ryanair to base two aircraft at Newcastle International Airport for summer 2022 is very significant news for both the Airport and the region. Ryanair’s investment is a sign of growing confidence and will provide the North East public with a great selection of new destinations and extra weekly frequencies, providing more options for leisure and business travel. This will create new jobs for pilots, cabin crew and engineering alongside support services, and will generate economic value for the wider area.
The two based aircraft will see the number of routes operated from Newcastle by Ryanair increase from 7 to 19, including some exciting new destinations such as Milan and Riga. These new routes, alongside extra capacity on current services to destinations, provides our customers with choice not only on where to travel but also on the length of time when visiting friends and family, on holiday or away on business.
We are delighted with the news and look forward to welcoming Ryanair, their crew and staff to their new home at Newcastle International Airport in the near future.”
Ryanair’s Newcastle Summer 2022 schedule will deliver:
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (05 Aug) announced an additional $100m investment in Shannon Airport basing a second aircraft from Winter ‘21, launching 8 new routes (34 total) as part of its Shannon tourism recovery schedule.
This expansion will result in Ryanair operating 16 routes from Shannon this summer (2 new) and 18 routes for winter ‘21/22 (6 new) to Corfu, Gran Canaria, Birmingham, Budapest, Edinburgh, Fuerteventura, London Luton and Turin. The airline will operate 85 departing flights across the 34 routes and the second based aircraft will support these expanded schedules.
Shannon Airport worked closely with Ryanair in delivering incentives to rebuild traffic for this Summer 21 & Winter 21/22, restoring full pre-pandemic capacity and securing Ryanair pilot and crew jobs. Ryanair’s expanded presence will underpin the recovery of the tourism industry in the South-West (supporting over 600 jobs in the region) – improving connectivity as travel reopens across Europe.
Ryanair calls on Taoiseach Micheál Martin to urgently implement the recommendations from the Aviation Taskforce (which has been sitting on Transport Minister Ryan’s desk for over a year). Ryanair’s based aircraft at Cork airport have sadly not returned due to a lack of incentives, resulting in the loss of connectivity and jobs in the Cork region. If traffic and jobs are to return to Dublin and Cork airports, the Taoiseach must urgently implement incentives to attract Ryanair and other airlines to restore pre-pandemic capacity as Ryanair has done in Shannon airport.
To celebrate the return of the second based aircraft, 8 new routes and the restoration of Ryanair jobs, Ryanair has launched a seat sale with fares available from just €19.99 for travel until the end of March 2022, which must be booked by midnight Sunday, 8th August, only on the Ryanair.com website.
Ryanair’s Shannon Summer and Winter 2021 recovery schedule will deliver:
Ryanair’s CEO Eddie Wilson, said:
“We are delighted to announce our expansion plans for Shannon with the restoration of its 2-aircraft base and 8 new routes to exciting destinations including Corfu, Gran Canaria, Budapest, Fuerteventura and more. As vaccination rollout programmes continue in the coming months, air traffic is set to return to pre-pandemic levels and we are delighted to announce extra flights from Shannon across Europe, connecting a total of 34 destinations.
Ryanair has worked closely with Shannon Airport, which has seen the restoration of its 2 aircraft base, traffic, connectivity and jobs which is in stark contrast to Cork and Dublin airports, which continue to lose passengers and jobs at a time when other EU countries, regions and airports are growing and recovering connectivity. We call on Taoiseach Micheál Martin to urgently implement a traffic recovery scheme for Dublin and Cork airports before they lose out to other EU countries that are prioritising the recovery of aircraft capacity, connectivity, tourism and jobs. Ryanair is uniquely placed to deliver this as it takes delivery of 210 aircraft over the next 5 years.
Mary Considine, CEO, Shannon Group which operates Shannon Airport said:
“We are delighted with today’s announcement by Ryanair. It is another important step on our road to recovery. Restoring its second based aircraft here at Shannon demonstrates Ryanair’s continued commitment to our airport. The confirmation of 18 routes from Shannon for Winter including exciting new destinations such as Budapest and Turin, is very positive news for the airport and for this region after what has been a very difficult period for the aviation industry.”
