Ryanair, Europe’s no.1 airline, today (Mon, 29 June) announced a new route from the Netherlands to Cyprus, commencing 3 August as part of its extended summer 2020 schedule. The new route will operate twice weekly from Eindhoven Airport to Paphos.
Dutch customers can book a trip to Cyprus, flying on the lowest fares and helping support the restart of Europe’s tourism industry as they travel for business or leisure.
To celebrate these new routes, Ryanair is offering seats one-way from just €23.99 for travel until October, which must be booked by midnight, Wednesday (1 July) only on the Ryanair website.
Ryanair’s Hélène Bégasse said:
“We’re delighted to announce a new twice weekly flight from Eindhoven to Paphos commencing from 3 August as part of our 2020 summer schedule. Dutch customers can now book a sun holiday to Cyprus, flying on the lowest fares with Ryanair, Europe’s favourite airline.
To celebrate this new route, we’re launching a seat-sale with flights from just €23.99 one way for travel until October, which are available for booking until midnight, Wednesday, 1 July. Since these amazing low prices will be snapped quickly, customer should visit Ryanair.com and book their flights with us today!”
Ryanair today (26 June) called on the EU Commission to block the latest illegal State Aid of €3.4bn to Dutch flag carrier KLM, which equates to a subsidy of €200 on behalf of every man, woman and child of Holland. The Dutch Govt are great at preaching fiscal conservatism to other EU countries but when it comes to bailing out flag carrier airlines they write subsidy checks even faster than Mrs Merkel.
Ryanair Group CEO Michael O’Leary said:
“16 years after Air France’s takeover of KLM, every Dutch citizen now has to pay €200 each to prop-up Air France-KLM, while each French citizen will only pay a subsidy €100. This is a poor deal for the “trading nation”, which likes to lecture other EU countries about fiscal rules but has no problem breaking these rules when it comes to subsidising KLM. This Dutch government subsidy is also bad news for competition and consumer interests as it will further delay the necessary reforms at the bloated Air France-KLM. For this €200 KLM subsidy, every Dutch man, woman and child could buy 5 flights with Ryanair, instead of paying for the failure and inefficiency at Air France-KLM.
We call on the European Commission to block this subsidy doping to KLM, which will further reduce competition and consumer choice in the Dutch and French markets”.

Thousands Of €9.99 Fares – Before Austrian Govt Bans Them!!!
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (Thurs 25th June) announced it will open 67 routes to/from Austria commencing on Wed 1st July next, as part of Ryanair’s post Covid Summer 2020 schedule. Its Vienna base will offer 64 routes, including summer services to Palma, Rome, Faro & Athens, and many more.
As Austrians taxes get wasted on illegal State Aid to German owned Austrian Airlines, Ryanair will guarantee low fares for Austrian customers/visitors at prices which start from €9.99 one way. Vienna holidaymakers can now plan an exciting summer getaway with fares starting from just €9.99 for travel in July & August before some misguided Austrian Minister tries to ban them.
Following the reopening of Lauda’s Vienna A320 base on 1 July, Ryanair will operate to/from Vienna on a mixture of Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Since Lauda will become a wet lease provider for the Ryanair Group, the famous red brand will continue to fly over the skies of Austria from 1st July.
Ryanair’s Austria 2020 schedule will deliver:
64 Vienna routes including;
- Over 25 summer destination including Faro, Malaga, Malta, Naples & Palma.
- Over 20 city break destinations including Dublin, Milan, Madrid, Lisbon & Warsaw.
- Ryanair will also operate 2 routes to/from Salzburg and 1 route to/from Klagenfurt.
Ryanair Group CEO, Michael O’Leary, said:
“Ryanair is pleased to open 67 new routes to/from Austria starting from 1 July, as part of our Summer 2020 schedule. Our Vienna base will serve 64 routes, with air fares starting from just €9.99 one way before some crazy Austrian Minister tries to force Austrian consumers and visitors to pay higher €40 air fares!!! Ryanair will provide non-State Subsidised competition and choice to the high fare Austrian Airlines (which is a subsidiary of the German subsidy junkie Lufthansa Group). Ryanair will oppose any illegal effort by the Austrian Govt to force consumers to pay high fares. Austrian citizens are entitled to low fares and nobody provides lower fares than Ryanair.
To celebrate our Summer 2020 schedules we have launched a seat sale with fares from just €9.99 one way, for travel in July and August 2020, which must be booked by midnight Saturday (27th June). To avoid missing out on these amazing low prices, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and book their flight with us today!”.
Reacting to the European Commission’s approval today (25 June) of the German Government’s €9bn bailout of Lufthansa, Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“This is a spectacular case of a rich EU Member State ignoring the EU Treaties to the benefit of its national industry and the detriment of poorer countries. Under the pretext of Covid-19, the German Government is giving Lufthansa a bank-breaking bailout of €9bn which even the airline’s own CEO admits it does not need.
In clear breach of European competition rules, Berlin is wasting vast amounts of taxpayers’ money to prop up an uncompetitive airline that should be putting its own house in order instead of once again running to the Government for help. This and other bailouts will have a more devastating long-term effect on the future of European aviation than the pandemic itself.
This bailout money will be used to bully smaller rivals out of the market, in line with Lufthansa’s grim record of anti-competitive behaviour. Only last week, Italian press reported that Lufthansa’s Air Dolomiti was “teaming up against low-cost” with three other airlines, to introduce minimum prices. This follows reports that Austrian Airlines, also owned by Lufthansa, is gearing up to set a minimum airfare of €40.
In addition to coordinating a State-sponsored price-setting cartel, Lufthansa is threatening to shut down smaller national airlines within the Lufthansa group, as if they were its Belgian, Austrian and Swiss hostages, unless the respective governments pay a ransom.
The contrast between Lufthansa and Ryanair could not be starker. Instead of touring Europe’s capitals for taxpayer-funded hand-outs, Ryanair is innovating its way out of the crisis by giving consumers lower fares and connectivity at a time when Europe’s regions and cities desperately need the revival of tourism and their local economies.
We urge the European Commission to stand by its principles and keep the skies open, fair and competitive. If not, the single aviation market the EU has successfully built will crumble, with European consumers and taxpayers paying the price. The Commission’s approval of the Lufthansa bailout today is a betrayal of the core principles of EU law, which we have no alternative but to refer to the EU General Court.”
Ryanair, Europe’s No. 1 airline, today (Tues, 23 June) called on the Government to act immediately on the recommendations of its Aviation Taskforce. The Aviation Taskforce reports that “Ireland is now significantly behind” other EU member states and recommends:
- Lifting the Quarantine
- Aligning Ireland’s air travel protocols with other European states
- Stimulating additional flights and consumer demand
Speaking today, Ryanair CEO, Eddie Wilson, said:
“Ryanair welcomes the Aviation Taskforce report and calls on the Government to implement its own Taskforce recommendations to save what’s left of the summer season and start to recover lost airline traffic. A great number of the 140,000 Irish jobs which rely on aviation may be lost forever if these measures are not adopted without delay.”
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (22 June) launched rescue fares starting from €9.99 on the London Southend to Vilnius route operating 2 weekly frequencies to accommodate customers affected by Wizz Air discontinuation of this route.
These low rescue fares are on sale now on the Ryanair.com website, for travel until the end of March 2021 but must be booked by midnight (24 June).
Ryanair’s Eimear Ryan said:
“Wizz Air’s customers can continue to enjoy the lowest fares and most reliable service by switching to Ryanair, and we’ve released rescue fares to assist customers affected by Wizz Air’s ceasing of this route.
Customers can fly from London Southend to Vilnius operating twice weekly at fares starting from just €9.99 until the end of March 2021, and these rescue fares are on sale now until midnight Wednesday 24 June, only on the Ryanair.com website. Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out.”.
