Ryanair has announced its largest ever summer schedule from Dublin Airport.
Travellers can look forward to 120 destinations and over 900 weekly flights to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sardinia & Sicily as well as the Greek islands, Croatia and regional France.
Ryanair will also increase its investment with the basing of a 33rd aircraft at Dublin Airport this summer, representing a further $100m and bringing its total investments at Dublin Airport to $3.3bn.
The airline said in a statement that it will create 30 direct jobs as a result.
It also said that the increased connectivity will deliver much needed inbound tourism while also giving Irish holidaymakers an abundance of travel choices to top European destinations.
After 2 years of stop\start ineffective travel restrictions, the Dublin Airport Authority (daa) has finally been given the tools to incentivise travel with its Traffic Recovery Support Scheme (TRSS) which was recommended by the Aviation Task Force in their report in July 2020.
This investment by Ryanair is a direct result of the recently launched Traffic Recovery Scheme by the daa.
To celebrate this exciting announcement, Ryanair has launched a limited-time seat sale with fares available from just €29.99 for travel until the end of June 2022 with a zero-change fee offer.
Travellers are advised to book before midnight Sunday, 23rd January and make up for the lost summers of 2020 and 2021 with a well-deserved summer getaway.
Ryanair DAC’s CEO, Eddie Wilson, said:
“After 2 years of stop\start ineffective travel restrictions, the daa has finally been given the tools to incentivise travel with its Traffic Recovery Support Scheme (TRSS) which was recommended by the Aviation Task Force to Government in their report of July 2020. This scheme gives Ryanair the confidence to invest in our largest ever summer schedule and the largest number of based aircraft at Dublin Airport.
“The daa TRSS scheme will ensure airport charges are competitively priced vs. other EU countries this summer, and Ryanair has responded by launching its largest ever investment in aircraft, connections and jobs at Dublin Airport. With many airlines cutting routes and jobs, it is important that Ireland’s airport charges remain competitive vs. other EU countries and regions so that this investment can be maintained in this period of recovery and it is vital that this Traffic Recovery Scheme is extended into winter ’22/23 to keep that investment and connectivity in Ireland.”
daa’s CEO, Dalton Philips, said:
“Government funding announced in Budget 2022 has allowed daa to offer additional attractive incentives to our airline partners to rebuild international connectivity from Dublin Airport and this investment by Ryanair for the busy summer season ahead is testament to that.”
