WITH 6 NEW ROUTES (69 TOT.) 1 NEW BASED AIRCRAFT (11 TOT.) AND 4.7M PASSENGERS PER ANNUM

Ryanair, the UK’s no. 1 airline, today (08 Feb) announced its new Edinburgh schedule for Summer ‘23, with 69 routes incl. 6 new destinations – Belfast, Bournemouth, Cornwall, London Stansted, Rhodes and Venice – as well as increased frequencies on over 30 of Ryanair’s most popular Edinburgh routes. This record schedule will see Ryanair base one new aircraft in Edinburgh (11 total) for Summer ‘23 – another $100m investment and creating over 30 new highly paid jobs for pilots and cabin crew.

Ryanair’s Edinburgh Summer ‘23 schedule will deliver:

– 1 new based aircraft (11 total)

– $1.1bn investment

– 69 routes, incl. 6 new destinations – Belfast, Bournemouth, Cornwall, London Stansted, Rhodes & Venice

– Increased frequencies on over 30 routes, incl. Alicante, Barcelona, Brussels Charleroi, Milan & Shannon

– Over 25% capacity growth (vs S22)

– 4.7M passengers per annum

This Summer, Ryanair will offer its Edinburgh citizens/visitors the widest choice when booking their Summer ‘23 getaways this summer (+25% growth vs S22) and at the lowest fares in Europe, growing both inbound tourism and jobs. This unrivalled growth is underpinned by Ryanair’s $1.1bn investment in Edinburgh Airport, with 11 based aircraft.

Although Ryanair welcomes the UK Govt’s 50% APD cut for domestic travel from Apr’23, this reduction ignores international connectivity which is fundamental for the growth of the UK’s economy and tourism. Ryanair calls on the UK Govt to fully abolish APD immediately for all travel, which would not only promote tourism, but support much needed connectivity to the UK, an island-based economy.

To celebrate this record-breaking Edinburgh schedule for Summer ‘23, Ryanair is launching a limited time seat sale with fares from just £29.99 for travel between Apr’23 and Oct’23, which must be booked by midnight 10Feb on www.ryanair.com.

Ryanair’s Dara Brady said:

“As the UK’s no.1 airline for low fares and reliability, Ryanair is pleased to announce our new Edinburgh schedule for Summer 2023, with 6 exciting new routes to Belfast, Bournemouth, Cornwall, London Stansted, Rhodes and Venice, offering Edinburgh customers/visitors even more choice for their summer holidays at the lowest fares in Europe.

This record 2023 schedule will see the addition of one new based aircraft (11 total), representing another $100m investment in Edinburgh Airport ($1.1bn total) and supporting over 330 highly paid pilot and crew jobs, as Ryanair continues to deliver more traffic, connectivity, and lower fares than any other airline for the UK.

However, if we are to continue to grow and to drive recovery and connectivity to the UK, Prime Minister Sunak must immediately scrap APD in full for all travel (not just domestic travel) and provide incentives for airlines like Ryanair to stimulate growth and recovery for the UK and its regions.”

Kate Sherry, Aviation Director at Edinburgh Airport, said:

“With six fantastic new routes, and increased frequency to many of Europe’s most popular destinations, the arrival of Ryanair’s summer schedule for ’23 is great news for our passengers – as is the introduction of the new cleaner, quieter Boeing 737 Gamechanger aircraft for many of these flights.

“It is always our aim to offer as much choice as possible from Edinburgh and the announcement of this schedule comes as we continue to build towards a strong summer season at the airport.“This investment, which will also see an additional Ryanair aircraft based at EDI, is a real show of faith in the market – illustrating the growing demand for travel we’re seeing at Edinburgh.”

1 ZUSÄTZLICHES FLUGZEUG (5 INSGESAMT) UND 30 NEUE ARBEITSPLÄTZE

Ryanair, Europas Fluggesellschaft Nr. 1, hat heute (3. Februar) vier weitere neue Strecken in ihren Sommerflugplan 2023 für Weeze aufgenommen – Castellón, Kopenhagen, Sevilla und Rhodos – zusätzlich zu den kürzlich angekündigten Strecken nach Asturien, Mailand-Bergamo, Pula und Reus, und erhöht die Frequenzen auf zehn weiteren beliebten Strecken, darunter Abruzzen, Malaga und Zadar. Dieses zusätzliche Wachstum wird durch ein neues stationiertes Flugzeug in Weeze (5 insgesamt) untermauert, was eine weitere Investition von 100 Mio. USD bedeutet und weitere 30 Arbeitsplätze in der Region Düsseldorf schafft.

Ryanairs Sommerflugplan 2023 für Weeze bietet:

– 1 weiteres stationiertes Flugzeug (5 insgesamt)

– 500 Mio. USD Investment

– 30+ Routen – exklusiv durch Ryanair und von keiner anderen Fluggesellschaft in Weeze bedient

– 4 neue Strecken – Castellón, Kopenhagen, Rhodos und Sevilla

– Mehr als 240 wöchentliche Flüge

– Mehr als 1.200 Arbeitsplätze, inkl. 150 direkte Arbeitsplätze

Ryanair wird in diesem Sommer mehr als 240 wöchentliche Flüge von/nach Weeze anbieten (+40 % Wachstum gegenüber dem Sommer 2022), um sowohl den Incoming-Verkehr als auch die Zahl der Arbeitsplätze zu erhöhen und den Kunden in Weeze die größte Auswahl und die niedrigsten Preise bei der Buchung ihres Urlaubs für den Sommer 2023 zu bieten.

Ryanair sorgt weiterhin für mehr Verkehr, mehr Wachstum und die niedrigsten Flugpreise in ganz Deutschland, insbesondere an deutschen Regionalflughäfen wie Weeze, wo die Kosten im Vergleich zu den gierigen größeren Flughäfen, die ihre Attraktivität in Europa mit stark erhöhten Flughafengebühren geschmälert haben, wettbewerbsfähig bleiben.

Annika Ledeboer, Ryanairs Country Managerin DACH & Nordics, sagte:

“Als Deutschlands Fluggesellschaft Nr. 1 für niedrige Preise und Zuverlässigkeit freuen wir uns, noch mehr Wachstum in unserem Weeze Sommerflugplan 2023 anzukündigen, mit weiteren 4 neuen Strecken – Castellón, Kopenhagen, Rhodos und Sevilla – sowie erhöhten Frequenzen auf 10 beliebten Strecken, darunter Alicante, Girona und Edinburgh, die unseren Kunden in Düsseldorf Weeze noch mehr Auswahl für ihren Sommerurlaub zu den günstigsten Preisen in Europa bieten. 

Ryanair wird in diesem Sommer 35 Strecken von/nach Düsseldorf Weeze bedienen. Die Stationierung dieses fünften Flugzeugs stellt eine weitere Investition von 100 Millionen Dollar in Düsseldorf Weeze dar und sichert mehr als 1.200 Arbeitsplätze, darunter 150 hoch bezahlte Arbeitsplätze für Piloten, Besatzungsmitglieder und Ingenieure. Ryanair wächst weiter und bietet den Bürgern/Besuchern Düsseldorfs und Weezes eine größere Auswahl und höhere Zuverlässigkeit, während gleichzeitig der Incoming-Verkehr in die Region gefördert wird.

Dieses Wachstum unterstreicht die Position von Ryanair als einzige Fluggesellschaft, die in Deutschland wächst, während Lufthansa die Erholung des Landes nach Covid weiterhin dadurch einschränkt, dass sie nur 75 % ihrer Kapazitäten vor Covid betreibt, um den Kunden ihre hohen Preise aufzuzwingen.

Um die Neuzugänge in unserem Weeze-Sommerflugplan 2023 zu feiern, startet Ryanair einen speziellen Sitzplatzverkauf mit Preisen ab nur 29,99 € für Reisen zwischen April und Oktober 2023, die bis Mitternacht am 5. Februar gebucht werden können.”

Dr. Sebastian Papst, Geschäftsführer des Airport Weeze, sagte:

“Wir freuen uns sehr über die Stationierung des fünften Ryanair-Flugzeugs an unserem Flughafen. Unsere deutschen und niederländischen Gäste werden nun eine noch größere Auswahl an attraktiven Zielen haben.”

Ryanair, Europe’s no.1 airline, today (03 Feb) announced that it will reduce its Summer ‘23 schedule at Tallinn by 35% severing direct ties between the Estonian capital and 6 major cities (incl. Dublin, Malta and Naples), as well as reducing flights to Berlin. These cuts are a direct result of Tallinn Airport’s illogical decision to increase charges by an excessive 33%. This huge loss in connectivity was totally avoidable had Tallinn Airport not decided to increase its charges.

These new ill-thought-out charges are wildly excessive and make Tallinn, Estonia’s primary airport, completely uncompetitive compared to its European counterparts who are lowering charges to recover and grow traffic / connectivity post-pandemic. All the while, Tallinn’s reckless decision to increase charges by 33% will cause massive damage to Estonian tourism, connectivity, traffic and jobs as evidenced by these Summer cuts.

Ryanair calls on Tallinn Airport and the regulator to reverse its strategy of excessive airport charges that damage connectivity and jobs and to focus on lowering costs which would see airlines like Ryanair grow tourism and jobs in the region.

Ryanair’s Dara Brady said: 

“We regret that despite numerous attempts from Ryanair to mediate a sensible solution with both Tallinn Airport and the Regulator to prevent this avoidable loss in connectivity and traffic, Tallinn Airport has proceeded with its ill-thought-out and illogical decision to increase airport charges by an unbelievable 33%, and as a result, Ryanair will reduce its Summer schedule at here by 35% (including direct connections to 6 major European cities).

Eero Pärgmäe’s earlier comments that Ryanair closed these routes in response to competition are equally as illogical and ludicrous given Ryanair was the sole operator on each of these (now unserved) routes, and we haven’t become Europe’s biggest airline by avoiding competition. No other airline can compete with Ryanair’s low fares.

Unfortunately, there seems to be an attempt within some Baltic Airports to seek (astoundingly similar) excessive charge increases above 30%, which has caused similar capacity cuts from European carriers – such as Ryanair’s recent cuts in Vilnius (c. 30% of our Summer schedule). Thankfully Riga Airport saw sense and withdrew their charges proposal and salvaged their schedule, albeit like Tallin, must work toward cost reductions like competing European airports if they are to secure future traffic growth.

This reckless decision by the airport comes at the expense of Estonian citizens, who now face massive damage to local business / tourism, lost connectivity, jobs, and traffic – all of which could have been avoided if not for these excessive and baseless charge increases.”
