Ryanair’s chief marketing officer Kenny Jacobs said: "Customers can look forward to even lower fares when they make advance bookings for summer 2017.
"As our recent guidance confirmed, Ryanair expects average fares to fall by between 10% to 12% in the 6 months to March 2017."
Manchester Airport chief executive Ken O’Toole said:~”It is pleasing to see Ryanair expanding its summer schedule from Manchester Airport, meaning there will now be year-round direct services to leading European cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Nuremberg and Oslo.
"These routes are proving popular with both business and leisure passengers within our catchment area, which stretches from the east to the west coasts of the UK and as far north as the Scottish borders.
"Coupled with increased frequencies on routes to a range of sunshine destinations, this commitment is yet another vote of confidence in Manchester and the wider north.”
