Ryanair Setup Base at Birmingham Airport

Budget airline Ryanair has today announced the opening of its 25th base at Birmingham Airport in a deal finalised last night.

The airline will fly to twenty-two destinations, with new routes to nine countries including Barcelona, Marseille, Gdansk, Stockholm and Trapani with fares starting at £10. Ryanair will base two aircraft at the airport rising to ten over the next five years and estimate an extra five million passengers a year through the airport.

Director of Business Development at Birmingham Airport, Peter Vella stated: "It's great news for Birmingham to have been selected as a major base for Ryanair." Ryanair's Chief Executive, Michael O'Leary said: "Ryanair's new base will smash this high fare stranglehold by delivering savings of £130 next year for Birmingham's passengers/visitors."
