Ryanair has revealed its Winter 2024 flight schedule from Bristol Airport. The new schedule features 30 routes, including five new destinations.
Ryanair, the UK’s leading budget airline, has introduced new routes to Copenhagen, Fuerteventura, Marrakesh, Prague and Tirana. This expansion offers customers in the South West even more choice at what the airline claims to be Europe’s lowest fares.
Operating over 640 routes to and from the UK, Ryanair transports over 57 million passengers annually on its fleet of 117 UK-based aircraft.
Ryanair’s head of communications, Jade Kirwan, said: “We are pleased to announce our Winter 2024 schedule for Bristol, which includes five exciting new routes to Copenhagen, Fuerteventura, Marrakesh, Prague and Tirana, giving customers in the South West even more choice at the lowest airfares in Europe.
“As an island economy on the periphery of Europe, it is vital that Ryanair continues to grow low-cost air access to and from the UK, particularly for the regions where tourism growth is suffering the most from the Government’s APD (Airline Passenger Duty).
“This tax unfairly imposes £13 on all UK citizens/visitors, making air travel to/from the UK less competitive, particularly when other EU States, like Sweden, Poland, Croatia, and Italy, are lowering costs and cutting taxes to encourage rapid growth.
“If the UK Govt scraps APD on all flights, Ryanair will respond with rapid traffic growth for the rest of this decade, including 1,000 new jobs, 20 new UK based aircraft (additional $2bn investment) and a 14 per cent growth in UK traffic to 65 million passengers per annum by 2030, just as we have done in Italy, where we added 3 new aircraft ($300m investment) and over 20 new routes following the decision of regions, like Calabria, to scrap the Italian Municipal Tax, and more recently in Sweden, where we have added two new aircraft ($200m investment), 10 new routes & 60 new jobs following the decision to abolish the Aviation Tax.”
