Ryanair launches three new routes from Malaga airport

Ryanair, the leading airline in passenger numbers at Malaga Airport, and the management of this facility celebrated on Tuesday the addition of routes to three European destinations. Travelers were treated to a cake to mark the inaugural flights to the cities of Teesside, in Durham County, England; Brno, the second-largest city in Czechia by population and area, located in the southeast of the country, just forty kilometers from Austria and about 60 from Slovakia; and Münster, in the western part of Germany. The latter city is home to a Pablo Picasso graphic art museum that houses a collection of the painter's lithographs.

With these new connections, this Irish low-cost airline has reached a historic milestone of operating a total of 91 routes in Malaga. Elena Cabrera, Ryanair's spokesperson in Spain, participated in this celebration alongside the airport's director, Pedro Bendala. At the event, she highlighted that "passengers can now enjoy the best summer getaways with Ryanair. These new routes will operate twice a week, offering our customers in Spain even more options to book their summer vacations at the best price."

Additionally, she reminded that Ryanair's program at the airport for this summer involves "having 18 planes based on the Costa del Sol, representing an investment of 1.8 billion dollars and supporting more than 4,500 local jobs, boosting economic growth and development in the region." She also announced that to celebrate the launch of these three new routes, the company is offering fares starting from 21.99 euros to travel until the end of October, subject to availability.

Cabrera emphasized in the presentation of the summer operations that "Malaga is a key airport for Ryanair. It is in the 'Top 5' of Spain and our goal is to continue growing. Currently, we hold a 30% business share at this facility and aim to also grow during the winter." It should be noted that for this high season, they have placed 5.3 million seats on the market to fly from the capital of the Costa del Sol to these 91 destinations. The planned air capacity is 5% higher than last summer, which was already historic for the airline.
