Ryanair has announced its largest ever summer schedule.
14 new routes will depart from 3 London airports (Gatwick, Luton and Stansted) to destinations across Europe including Naples, Madeira and Stockholm.
The new additions will bring Ryanair’s total routes to 181.
Customers can take advantage of a 3-day seat sale with fares from just £19,99 one way for travel until October 2022, which must be booked by Friday the 4th of March.
The company also said in a statement that it has over 100 based aircraft for 2022 and a total investment of over $10 billion in the UK.
It also said that it supports over 3,000 highly paid aviation jobs and over 35,000 jobs indirectly across 19 UK airports.
The airline continues to call out the UK government in abolishing the APD so that “the UK would enjoy dramatic traffic, jobs and tourism growth.”
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“We are pleased to announce 14 new routes from our three London airports, Stansted, Luton and Gatwick, as all Covid-19 travel restrictions have now been lifted, UK citizens and visitors can book a well-deserved summer getaway to exciting destinations such as Helsinki, Madeira and Naples.
“Ryanair is driving London’s post Covid recovery as we grow across Europe, with new aircraft and new routes.
“Despite launching our biggest ever schedule, the UK Govt failed to support this recovery by delaying the reduction in APD until 2023.
“Ryanair again calls on the UK Govt to scrap APD completely, to allow airlines and airports to quickly restore traffic, jobs, and tourism.
“The 50% reduction proposed for 2023 is too little, too late as APD puts UK airports at a severe cost disadvantage versus European competitors, and the absence of Govt support for aviation and tourism recovery creates further barriers to UK traffic and growth.”
