Ryanair Announces Three New Routes From Belfast To Poland

Ryanair has announced three new routes from Belfast International Airport to Poland.

The airline has expanded its winter schedule with routes to Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw.

Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said: "We are pleased to launch three new routes from our Belfast base to Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw, as part of our winter 2016 schedule, in addition to the seven new routes announced earlier to Alicante, Berlin, Krakow, Lanzarote, Malaga, Milan and Tenerife, and the extra flights to London Gatwick, which will deliver over one million customers per annum and support 750 jobs at Belfast International Airport.

"Our new Polish routes will be ideal for both business and leisure customers and we look forward to growing routes, traffic and jobs in Belfast in the coming months and years."

Belfast International Airport Managing Director, Graham Keddie, said: "This is more fantastic news from Ryanair.

"It means that this winter should be one of our busiest ever. Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw follow Krakow and deliver a very comprehensive network to a new and important Polish market.

"We currently stand as the 11th largest airport in the UK, but I expect that with continuing airline expansion and growth in passenger numbers, we will break into the 'Top Ten' before too long. The airport is delivering real economic benefit for Northern Ireland and that means new employment and business opportunities."
