Ryanair announces new summer flights from UK
Ryanair has announced new flights from London to Milan, Sofia (Bulgaria), Verona (Italy) and Vilnius (Lithuania) next summer.
In total, it will offer 20 new routes next year.
Three of its new flights from London will operate from Stansted while the flight to Vilnius will operate from Luton.
In October, the airline will launch a new website including additional features such as ‘hold the fare’ and customer destination reviews as part of its ‘Always Getting Better’ customer services programme.
Ryanair saw passenger numbers rise by 10% last month to 10.4 million compared with 9.4 million in August 2014.
At the same time, the airline’s load factor rose two percentage points to 95%.
On a rolling 12-month basis to August, traffic was up 15% to 96.3 million passengers.
Chief marketing officer Kenny Jacobs said: "These record monthly numbers and load factors are due to our lower fares, our stronger forward bookings and the continuing success of our ‘Always Getting Better’ customer experience programme, which continues to deliver stronger than expected traffic and load factors on our biggest ever summer schedule."
