Ryanair announces new Maastricht base

Ryanair has announced that it will open its 51st base and first Dutch base at Maastricht in December 2012, with one aircraft to be based in the city.

The airline has also unveiled three new routes to Dublin, London and Treviso from the airport as part of a €70m investment.

A total of 14 Maastricht routes will deliver over 450,000 passengers per annum and sustain over 450 “on-site” jobs at the privately-owned airport, the company claimed.
