Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 low fares airlines, today (16 October 2003) announced a new twice-daily route between London and Reus-Barcelona, Catalunya with fares starting from £19.99 one-way including taxes. The daily flights will commence on 06th November 2003.
Speaking in Reus-Barcelona today, Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair said:
“Spain has long been the traditional stronghold of charter airlines but Ryanair’s low fares have changed that.
“Reus is our 2nd airport in Catalunya and we will carry 200,000 passengers on the new route in its 1st year of service, which will create 200 jobs in the local economy and give a huge boost to tourism to the country. Previously, to fly to London, passengers would have had drive to Barcelona to fly direct with Iberia but now they can fly direct from Reus with Ryanair and save 95% on what they would have paid.
Ryanair now operates 133 routes between 85 destinations and will carry almost 24 million passengers throughout Europe this year – 1.5m of which will be on our 2 Catalonian routes and 12 Spanish routes, delivering 1 million visitors to Catalunya and Spain combined.
Ryanair offers more routes, more destinations, more frequency, better punctuality and unbeatable passenger service which is why we continue to grow rapidly and are Europe’s No. 1 low fares airline.”
The new Reus route starts on 006 November 03 and passengers can book online from today at http://www.ryanair.com.
