Ryanair has announced 20 new routes as part of the launch of its first Frankfurt winter schedule.
The budget airline revealed that the new services intend to carry over 2.3 million customers yearly.
Flights will be available from Frankfurt Airport to Athens, Barcelona, Brindisi, Catania, Glasgow, Gran Canaria, Krakow, Lanzarote, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Pisa, Porto, Seville, Tenerife, Toulouse, Valencia and Venice.
The $700m investment in the schedule – which delivered seven based aircraft – will support 1,750 “on-site” jobs at Frankfurt Airport, according to CEO Michael O’Leary.
“Our 7 based aircraft represents an investment of $700m, which further underlines our commitment to growing traffic, tourism and jobs in the Hesse region and we look forward to working closely with Fraport to deliver industry leading efficiencies and further growth at Germany’s biggest airport,” he said.
“To celebrate the launch of our Frankfurt winter 2017 schedule we are releasing seats for sale across our European network from just €9.99, which are available for booking until midnight Thursday (2 Mar).”
Ryanair’s Frankfurt Main summer 2017 schedule, with 4 routes to Alicante, Faro, Malaga and Palma, commences on 28 March.
