Ryanair adds 7 Dublin routes

Ryanair has announced seven new routes which will bring more than 800,000 new passengers through Dublin Airport this year.

As well as the new routes, the airline added 100 flights to 21 existing business routes to Britain and continental Europe, raising the number of weekly flights to 1,000. The company said the growth in flights was a direct result of the Government’s decision to scrap the travel tax from April 1 next.

The new routes will see Ryanair fly from Dublin to Basel, Bucharest, Cologne, Lisbon, Marrakesh, Nice, and Prague.
