Ryanair announces new routes from East Midlands Airport

Ryanair has announced that it will launch three new routes - to Faro, Fuerteventura and Prague - from East Midlands at the end of October this year. This latest expansion brings Ryanair's East Midlands base to thirty-eight routes. Passengers can now access a wide variety of European destinations from East Midlands such as Belfast, Shannon, Nantes, Nimes, Malaga, Milan and many more.

Speaking today, Ryanair's Bridget Dowling said: "With services to Faro and Fuerteventura running three times a week and the Prague route operating four times a week, passengers in the East Midlands area can now enjoy an even greater choice of low fare destinations.

"These three new routes which go on sale today will mean an extra 140,000 passengers travelling to and from East Midlands every year, sustaining an additional 140 jobs.

"This latest route expansion proves that Ryanair is committed to delivering the lowest fares guaranteed and no fuel surcharges ever on all its routes. To celebrate, we are offering seats on all three new destinations from £26. We urge passengers to log on to ryanair.com today to book their flights as seats to these fantastic new destinations will be snapped up."
