RYANAIR ANNOUNCES NEW ROUTE BETWEEN
SPAIN AND LONDON
LONDON - VALLADOLID FROM GBP29.99
Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airlines, today (03 October 2003) announced
a new twice-daily route between London and Valladolid, Spain with fares
starting from GBP29.99 including taxes. The daily flights will commence on
6th November 2003.
Speaking in Valladolid today, Michael O'Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair
said:
"Spain has long been the traditional stronghold of charter airlines but
Ryanair's low fares have changed that.
"Valladolid is our 5th airport in Spain, and we will carry 100,000
passengers on the new route in its 1st year of service, which will create
100 jobs in the regional economy, and give a huge boost to tourism in the
region of Castilla & Leon. Previously to fly to London, passengers would
have had to first endure a 2.5 hour drive to Madrid or fly via Barcelona
with Iberia but now they can fly direct and save 95% on what they would have
paid.
"Ryanair operates 132 routes between 84 destinations and will carry almost
24 million passengers throughout Europe this year - 1.5m of which will be on
our 13 Spanish routes, delivering 1 million visitors to Spain.
"Ryanair offers more routes, more destinations, more frequency, better
punctuality and unbeatable passenger service which is why we continue to
grow rapidly and are Europe's No. 1 low fares airline."
The new Valladolid route starts on 06 November 03 and passengers can book
online from today at www.ryanair.com.
