Madrid, 19 de febrero de 2020. Ryanair, la primera aerolínea en Europa, ha anunciado una nueva ruta que conectará Barcelona con la ciudad danesa de Billund. Esta nueva conexión operará con dos vuelos semanales a partir del 1 de julio, como parte del calendario de verano 2021 de Ryanair en España.

Los clientes de Ryanair ya pueden visitar el hogar de Lego durante verano, volando con las tarifas más bajas y con la tranquilidad de la opción de la tarifa de cambio de vuelo gratuito en caso de que sus planes varíen para todos los viajeros que reserven antes del 31 de marzo de 2021.

Para celebrar la nueva ruta, Ryanair ha lanzado una oferta de asientos con vuelos a partir de 14,99€, para viajar a partir del 1 de julio. Esta promoción estará disponible hasta el domingo, 21 de febrero, en la página web Ryanair.com.

 

Susana Brito, Sales & Marketing Manager para España y Portugal, ha declarado: “Estamos encantados de anunciar una nueva ruta que conectará Barcelona con la ciudad danesa de Billund a partir del 1 de julio como parte del calendario de verano 2021 de Ryanair en España.

Conscientes de que las restricciones a raíz del Covid-19 varían constantemente, Ryanair permite hasta dos cambios de fecha de vuelo gratuitos en todas las reservas realizadas antes del 31 de marzo de 2021. Esto permitirá mayor flexibilidad y tranquilidad a nuestros clientes quienes pueden reservar sus vuelos para disfrutar de un merecido descanso con la tranquilidad de poder posponer o cambiar sus fechas de viaje en caso de que sea necesario con una tasa de 0 euros hasta finales de octubre de 2021. Con todo esto, los clientes españoles de Ryanair ya pueden reservar sus vuelos de verano hacia el hogar de Lego para disfrutar de unas vacaciones”.  

Ryanair today (17 Feb) noted the EU Court’s rulings on French and Swedish State aid schemes favouring Air France and SAS over all other EU airlines.  The French airport tax deferral and the Swedish loan guarantee were introduced at the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis with nationality conditions.  The French scheme was reserved for French registered airlines and the Swedish scheme to Swedish registered airlines, while excluding all other EU airlines, which were also damaged by Covid-19, despite their contribution to connectivity, jobs, traffic growth and the wider economy in France and Sweden.  Ryanair appealed the European Commission’s approvals of these schemes to the EU General Court in May 2020.  Following today’s rulings, Ryanair will now refer these matters to the Court of Justice of the EU.

 

Ryanair’s spokesperson said:

“One of the EU’s greatest achievements is the creation of a true single market for air transport, underpinned by the principle of a common EU airline licence – one for each airline.  A nationality condition in a State aid scheme is plainly incompatible with the single market. 

Ryanair is a truly European airline.  We have no rich and powerful ‘home country’ to subsidise us in times of trouble.  Nor do we want discriminatory aid.  Our instinct in a crisis is to seek efficiencies and cost savings, to offer more routes at lower fares – while remaining Europe’s greenest airline. 

During the Covid-19 pandemic over €30bn in discriminatory State subsidies has been gifted to EU flag carriers and, if allowed to stand, this will distort the level playing field in EU aviation for decades to come, giving chronically inefficient national airlines a leg up on their efficient low-fare competitors. 

We hope that the Court of Justice will overturn the European Commission’s approvals of the French and Swedish schemes, to give airlines and consumers a glimmer of hope that national politicians obsessed with their flag carriers will be sent back to the drawing board and required to use State aid wisely to assist the recovery of traffic in the post-Covid world instead of bailing out their favoured airline at the expense of fair competition and consumers.  Now is the time for the European Commission to stop caving in to national governments’ inefficient bail-out policies and start protecting the single market, Europe’s greatest asset for future economic recovery.”

Ryanair, Europe’s no. 1 airline, has today (11 Feb) launched its Winter 21/22 schedule, covering its most popular destinations for trips taking off from late October. Boasting over 700 routes across the Ryanair network – and further destinations to be released in the coming weeks – winter sun is where it’s at for 2021. Ever popular with its customers, Ryanair has launched routes to the likes of sunny Cyprus, Gran Canaria, the Greek islands, Sicily and Malaga for Winter ’21 and avid skiers who missed out on their trip to the slopes can dust off their skis with popular destinations such as Turin, Milan and Salzburg set to welcome visitors once again next winter.

In addition to winter sun and ski, customer can also book winter city breaks to Lisbon, Paris, Venice and many more. Having missed out on holidays and weekend breaks in 2020, an eclectic mix of destinations is on offer from Ryanair this winter spanning beach holidays, city breaks, cultural and foodie hotspots. To celebrate the release of Ryanair’s Winter ’21 / 22 schedule, Ryanair has launched a seat sale with fares available from €29.99 for travel from October ’21 – March ’22, available for booking on the Ryanair.com website only until midnight, Sunday 14^th Feb 2021.

 

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

“While we believe the successful roll-out of the vaccine will see Europeans enjoying their favourite spots this Summer, Ryanair wants to give customers further choice and something to look forward to, whether that is a break to reunite with friends and family in July, or a winter sun getaway to the sunny Greek Islands in November. With 20m seats on sale on over 700 routes and further destinations to be released in the coming weeks, customers can now book a Winter getaway until the end of March 2022, always on the lowest fares.

We’ve added firm favourites Barcelona, Malta and Marrakech to the list of destinations this year, and to celebrate we’ve launched a seat sale with amazing fares available from just €29.99 for travel from October 2021 until end of March 2022, which must be booked before midnight Sunday, 14^th Feb 2021. Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com”.

Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline today (Wed 10 Feb) called on the European Commission to reject plans for further discriminatory State aid from the French Government to Air France. This chronically inefficient airline already received a blockbuster €7bn subsidy package in 2020 and should not receive further Government support.

Should yet another enormous and illegal State aid bailout occur, then effective remedies must be applied to ensure fair competition in the French market and to protect the interests of the French consumer / visitor. This must include Air France giving up a substantial number of its take-off and landing slots at key French airports including Paris Charles De Gaulle, Paris Orly and Lyon.

Ryanair is ready to operate some or all of this capacity (if a competitive tender is run for their slots), to provide meaningful competition and choice vs. Air France and to assist French passengers / visitors to access lower fares.

 

A Spokesperson for Ryanair said:

“The EU must put an end to this flood of discriminatory multi-billion euro bailouts to inefficient legacy airlines which will distort the Single European market and eliminate fair and effective competition.

Commissioner Vestager must stand firm in her discussions with the French Government. Either Air France gets no State aid or proper remedies should be put in place to ensure a fair and level playing field for all airlines. This must include Air France giving up capacity at key French airports. The 24 daily slots at Paris Orly referenced in some media reports is not enough and the Commission must go further.

Ryanair is ready to provide the competition, choice and low cost travel that French consumers / visitors deserve”.
