RYANAIR ANNOUNCES NEW BILLUND BASE (NO 48)
19 ROUTES & 800,000 PAX P.A. IN 1ST DANISH BASE
Ryanair, the world's favourite airline, today (6th Dec) announced it would open its 48th base at Billund Airport in March 2012 with 2 based aircraft and 19 routes, delivering 800,000 passengers p.a., and sustaining up to 800 jobs in the Billund region.
In addition to Ryanair's existing 14 Billund routes, the airline will open five new routes from Billund to Carcassonne, Corfu, Krakow, Venice and Zadar, all of which go on sale on www.ryanair.com tomorrow (7th Dec) and bring to 19 the number of routes offered from Billund by Ryanair in summer 2012.
Ryanair celebrated its new Billund base (No 48) by launching a 1 million seat sale from €9.99 for travel across 1,000 European routes in January and February 2012. These low fares are available for booking until midnight Thursday (8th Dec).
In Billund, Ryanair's Michael O'Leary said:
"Ryanair is delighted to announce Billund as our 48th base with a total of 19 routes on sale on www.ryanair.com from tomorrow for summer 2012. Now Billund consumers/ visitors can beat the recession and escape both SAS and Cimber Sterling's high fares by switching to Ryanair's lowest fares and enjoy our no fuel surcharge guarantee to 19 exciting destinations in France, Greece, Italy and Spain among others. Ryanair's traffic of 800,000 p.a. will sustain up to 800 jobs at Billund Airport and in the surrounding region."
