Ryanair announces future investment in UK

The low-cost airline, Ryanair, revealed that they are to invest more than €140 million into the UK tourism market over the next year. They will start with the addition of three new planes heading for Bristol and Liverpool from the end of March. Routes will also be increased by 10 across Bristol, Glasgow’s Prestwick, Edinburgh and Liverpool airports. They will be flying to new destinations like Venice, Faro, Gdansk and Rimini and are available to be booked from today for flights starting in February.

The new business the budget carrier is creating will help keep 400 new jobs at these sites across the UK. In addition they will generate around an extra 400,000 passengers each year which will have an obvious knock-on affect to businesses at airports and the destinations. As an added bonus to celebrate the new business their £1 seats for travel in December offer will be extended until midnight tonight, so do not miss out.

Ryanair have been hitting the headlines for a variety of different reasons this year and all publicity is obviously good for business. Many rumours spread about what charges Ryanair were going to charge for next with the most comical being to use the toilet. They were also in court for hidden charges and ordered to reveal all charges clearly when people made a booking. Despite all this the airline has managed to come out on top and laughing away as the industry crumbles around them. There business has almost doubled and they continue to grow as passengers are looking for cheaper methods of travel.
