Ryanair services from Bristol International Airport expanded, but for how long?
The airline now has 29 routes operating out of Lulsgate and four planes permanently based in Bristol, compared with big rival easyJet who operate 39 routes from the airport.
The recession has hit the airport with passenger numbers falling by over 20 per cent since the start of the year but the Irish-owned budget airline is confident the new routes will prove to be a success.
All the new flights are to so-called sunshine destinations aimed at holidaymakers and there are no guarantees that the new destinations will not be shelved at the end of the summer.
The first new flight took off for Seville yesterday and the other destinations include Cagliari, in Sardinia, Barcelona, Montpellier in the South of France and Toulon in France along with Alicante in southern Spain, Perpignan in France and Rimini in Italy. The airline is also flying to Trieste in Italy, and Malta.
Despite the downturn, Ryanair is confident that the new routes will be popular with customers. Spokeswoman Maria Macken said yesterday: "The first flight has already taken off and we are more than satisfied with passenger numbers. We are sure that the demand is there and we are looking forward to a successful summer.
"We have now invested $280 million in Bristol Airport and it is becoming a very important centre for us, today is all about the new routes and we will be publishing our winter schedule in September."
