Ryanair today announced record advance bookings at its new Shannon base, opening on 3rd May 2005. In the three months since the nine new routes were announced, over 200,000 bookings have been recorded on the Shannon routes. In the first year of operations, Ryanair expect to carry over 1.5 million passengers through Shannon Airport.
Speaking in Shannon today, Ryanair’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, said: “Over one million European visitors will travel this year to Shannon and the Mid West of Ireland, sustaining 1,500 jobs in the tourism industry thanks to Ryanair’s low fares and Shannon Airport’s low costs.
“To celebrate these record bookings we are offering 10,000 free seats on our Shannon routes to the UK: Glasgow, Liverpool, Nottingham and London (Luton, Gatwick and Stansted) and 10,000 seats from only £9.99 on our Shannon/Europe routes (Stockholm, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Brussels, Paris, Milan and Barcelona). We would urge passengers to book early at www.ryanair.com, as seats this cheap will be snapped up quickly.”
