Ryanair lauches new routes from Scotland to Italy and Ireland
GLASGOW – MILAN - £29.99!
GLASGOW – SHANNON - £19.99!
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 low fares airline, today (29th October 03) launched two new routes from Glasgow Prestwick to Milan and Shannon. The new route to Shannon will commence on 4th December 2003 with fares from £19.99 (inc. tax), and the new route to Milan Bergamo will commence on 7th January 2004, with fares from only £29.99 (inc. tax).
Announcing the two new routes in Glasgow today, Ryanair’s Chief Executive, Michael O’Leary said:
“The new Ryanair routes from Glasgow Prestwick Airport are Scotland’s first direct daily services to Milan and Shannon. Ryanair now flies 14 direct daily international routes from Scotland and this year Ryanair will carry 2 Million passengers to/from Scotland, delivering 1.2 Million visitors to Scottish tourism, creating 2000 tourism jobs in Scotland, and making Glasgow Prestwick Airport Glasgow’s really international airport.
Fares start at an incredible £19.99 o/w to Shannon and £29.99 o/w to Milan, saving consumers a whopping £416.00 and £356.00 respectively off BA’s rip-off high fares. Not only will consumers and visitors save huge amounts of money, they will also save time too, with no need for wasting hours being forced by BA through congested hub airports like Heathrow, Birmingham or Manchester. Seats for the new routes are on sale right now at www.ryanair.com. We would urge the public to book now – and remember there’s £20.00 OFF return fares on all routes until midnight Thursday 30th October. At these new low fares, Ryanair’s new routes will be an instant hit with visitors to Scotland and Scottish consumers.
Ryanair’s commitment to Scotland continues with these new routes and next month, 200 new jobs will be created at Ryanair’s new maintenance facility at Glasgow Prestwick Airport.”
