Ryanair heads to the sun

Ryanair heads to the sun Low-cost operator Ryanair has announced that it is launching two new routes from Leeds Bradford Airport to the winter sun.

The regular weekly services will go from the Yorkshire airport to the Spanish destinations of Alicante and Girona Barcelona starting in October.

Ryanair's Bridget Dowling announced the new routes at Leeds Bradford Airport and expressed her delight at offering "additional capacity to two important Spanish cities for both business and leisure travellers".

She also said that their low fares will be able to offer "record savings for Leeds passengers and for the increasing number of inbound visitors to the West Yorkshire region".

Ms Dowling believes direct international routes are "fundamental to the economic development of cities like Leeds and Bradford".

"Travellers across West Yorkshire can now look forward to Europe's guaranteed lowest fares and best punctuality with Ryanair."

"Ryanair's new routes to Girona Barcelona and Alicante will bring a significant increase in European visitors and jobs to West Yorkshire and to the historic city of York," she added.


Tony Hallwood, Leeds Bradford's commercial and aviation development director said, "We are pleased to see Ryanair developing their range of international services serving the fast growing cities of Leeds and Bradford.

"We also look forward to working with Ryanair to encourage an increasing number of tourists to our dynamic and diverse region."

"These exciting new routes will also compliment Ryanair's successful twice-daily flights to Dublin," he added.

To coincide with this news, Ryanair is offering special fares of £30 one-way including taxes to either Girona Barcelona or Alicante.
