Ryanair Expands Winter Routes, Adds London to Ouarzazate Flight

Thus, the low-cost carrier will launch a new flight to the city of Ouarzazate from London, its boss Michael O’Leary said on Thursday, also specifying that it wants to strengthen 30 existing routes.

In addition to the city of Ouarzazate, Ryanair will also inaugurate flights to Belfast in Northern Ireland, Basel in Switzerland, Poprad in Slovakia, Tirana in Albania, Treviso in Italy and Vigo in Spain, thus increasing the capacity of the three London airports served by the company, namely Stansted, Gatwick and Luton, by 15%.

"To support this expanding winter program, we have based two new aircraft at Stansted, bringing our London fleet to 50 aircraft," he said. Ryanair expects to carry more than 183 million passengers this year. It recently placed an order for 300 aircraft with Boeing, which should bring the number of its passengers to more than 300 million.
