3 NEW WINTER ROUTES – DUBLIN, FARO & MALAGA

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (12^th Oct) announced its biggest ever Winter 23/24 schedule for Cornwall with 3 new routes, including Dublin, Faro and Malaga. This record schedule will see Ryanair operate +350% times more weekly flights than it did last Winter, offering Cornwall customers/visitors unbeatable choice, regular services and reliability at the lowest fares when booking their Winter breaks.

Ryanair’s Cornwall Winter 23/24 schedule will deliver:

• 4 routes, incl. 3 new to Dublin, Faro & Malaga
• Supporting over 120 local jobs
• Cornwall traffic to grow to over 200K passengers p.a.

Ryanair is the UK’s No.1 airline operating over 440 routes and carrying over 52m passengers p.a. to/from the UK on its fleet of 107 UK-based aircraft ($10.7bn investment), driving year-round connectivity and inbound tourism which supports over 37,000 UK jobs.

While Ryanair continues to invest and grow in Britain, UK NATS ATC remains the biggest risk to passengers travel plans. Ryanair pays NATS almost €100m p.a. for an ATC service that is repeatedly short staffed and on 28^th Aug, collapsed altogether causing the cancellation of over 2,000 flights (over 360,000 passengers) and long delays to more than 5,000 flights (900,000 passengers) without plausible explanation. NATS followed this latest shambles with more flight disruptions at Gatwick due to staff shortages. Ryanair calls again on Transport Minister, Mark Harper, to immediately instruct NATS (where the UK Govt owns a majority) to reimburse all its airline customers for the costs they suffered due to NATS incompetence on 28 Aug last and urgently reform UK ATC to ensure that such avoidable system collapses do not recur.

To celebrate Ryanair’s biggest-ever Winter schedule for Cornwall and its 3 new routes, the airline has launched a limited-time seat sale with fares from just £19.99, which must be booked by 14^th Oct 2023, available only at www.ryanair.com.

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

“Ryanair is pleased to announce our biggest ever Winter schedule for Cornwall, with 3 new winter sun and city break destinations including Dublin, Faro and Malaga. This record Winter schedule not only offers our Cornwall customers unbeatable choice at the lowest fares, but also drives year-round connectivity and inbound tourism for the region and supports over 120 local jobs.

Ryanair is the UK’s No.1 airline, and while we continue to grow and invest, NATS are busy writing “whitewash” reports to cover up their inexplicable incompetence which led to the cancellation of over 2,000 flights (over 360,000 passengers) and long delays to more than 5,000 flights (900,000 passengers) on Mon 28/Tues 29 Aug last.

Ryanair calls on Transport Minister, Mark Harper, and the UK Govt to urgently reform ATC and guarantee UK passengers that they will not suffer any more disruptions as a result of repeated NATS failures, mismanagement & incompetence.”
