Ryanair also announced expansion at its Dusseldorf (Weeze) and Madrid bases, with two new routes at Dusseldorf (Weeze) to/from Agadir and Fez and four new Madrid routes to/from Fez, Marrakesh, Nador and Tangier. Ryanair's winter schedule will offer 33% more Dusseldorf (Weeze) routes (40 this winter) and double the number of Madrid routes (33 this winter) than winter last year.
Ryanair celebrated these new routes and increased winter traffic by releasing 1million €4 seats, for travel across its European network in late Sept, Oct and Nov, which are available for booking on www.ryanair.com before midnight Sunday 23rd August.
Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said:
"Ryanair today celebrates new winter routes to/from Edinburgh, Dusseldorf (Weeze) and Madrid and a dramatic increase in the number of routes on offer from these bases over last winter's schedule. These exciting new routes will begin from 30th October. With even more low fare routes from Edinburgh, Dusseldorf (Weeze) and Madrid this winter passengers can beat the recession by flying at Ryanair's guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharges to exciting destinations all over Europe.
"To celebrate these new routes Ryanair is offering 1million €4 seats for travel across Europe in late September, October and November. These seats will be snapped up fast and are available for booking on www.ryanair.com before
