Ryanair
continues to be Ireland's number one airline carrying 14.9m
customers through Irish Airports next year while connecting Dublin
with major leisure and business centres on high frequency, low fare
services including Amsterdam (x4 daily), Berlin (x2), Brussels
(x3), Hamburg (daily), London (x18), Madrid (x3) and Munich (x2)
with better timings and lower fares, making Ryanair the ideal
choice for Irish business and leisure customers.
In Dublin, Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said:
"We are pleased to launch our Dublin summer
2018 schedule, which includes 5 new Dublin routes to Marrakech,
Munich, Naples, Paphos and Stuttgart, which will go on sale in
September, and 90 routes in total, delivering 12.9m
customers through Dublin Airport next year. Irish customers and
visitors are booking our summer and winter 2017 seats in record
numbers as fares continue to fall, so there's never been a better
time to book a low fare flight on Ryanair.
The development of the second runway at Dublin Airport is a
critical piece of national infrastructure which needs to be
expedited, especially when Ireland is trying to attract overseas
investment that may be leaving the UK in the run up to Brexit in
March 2019, and given that runway capacity at Dublin is already
full at peak times. We call on the Government, the Department of
Transport, and the Attorney General's office to end the repeated
delays and confirm that the necessary noise legislation will be
implemented by statutory instrument, making the IAA the competent
authority to monitor noise regulation, to allow Dublin's second
runway to proceed, at a cost of €240m. We need urgent action
to deliver runway 2 to prevent Ireland's airport infrastructure
falling further behind its international competitors.
To celebrate the
launch of our Dublin summer 2018 schedule we are releasing seats
for sale from just €14.99 for travel in September and October
which are available for booking until midnight Thursday (31 Aug).
Since these amazing low prices will be snapped up quickly,
customers should log onto www.ryanair.com
and avoid missing out."
daa Chief Executive Kevin Toland said:
"We are delighted to see Ryanair add five new routes from
Dublin Airport, two for this winter and three for the forthcoming
summer season. These new routes will offer additional choice and
convenience for both business and leisure passengers. The
combination of Ryanair's new routes and extensions to its existing
services means that Ryanair will grow its overall Dublin Airport
summer traffic by 4% next year."
