Ryanair Opens New Base at Porto

Ryanair announced it will open its 33rd base at Porto. The base will have 2 new aircraft and 4 new routes. This represents an investment of $140 million (about €100 million) and will increase Ryanair’s traffic at Porto to 1.5 million passengers per year, which will sustain 1.500 jobs.

Basel, Eindhoven, St Etienne and Tours are the 4 new routes, and along with the doubling of flights to Paris Beauvais (to twice daily), Ryanair will be offering 50 daily return flights to/from Porto.

And to celebrate:

Ryanair celebrated its new Porto base, two new aircraft, 16 routes and 1.5 million passengers by releasing 1 million €9 seats for travel across its European network for travel in late August, September and October which are available for booking on www.ryanair.com until midnight Sunday (5^th July).

Now what I want to ask now is: what about Lisbon?! Get those open minded flight attendants to the capital as well…
