Ryanair Announces 7 New Routes to/from Oslo

Ryanair, the World’s favourite airline, announced today (16th July) that, from October 2009, it will open seven new routes to/from Oslo (Rygge) Airport (approx 50kms south of Oslo) and four new routes (20 in total) from Oslo (Torp) as Ryanair offers more competition, choice and the lowest airfares from 10 Scandinavian airports, allowing even more passengers to avoid SAS’s high fares and unjustified fuel surcharges.

 

Ryanair’s seven new routes from Oslo (Rygge) to Alicante, Barcelona (Girona), Brussels (Charleroi), Bremen, London (Stansted), Madrid and Milan (Bergamo), beginning in October, will deliver over 500,000 passengers p.a. and sustain 500 new jobs in Oslo (Rygge) Airport.
 
Ryanair’s four new routes from Oslo (Torp) to Krakow, Lodz, Paris (Beauvais), and Rome (Ciampino) will begin from September and increase Ryanair’s traffic at Oslo (Torp) to 1.3 million p.a. which will sustain 1,300 local jobs.
 
Ryanair celebrated these 11 new routes and 1.8 million passengers p.a. at Oslo by releasing 1 million 1NOK seats for travel across its European network in September and October which are available for booking on www.ryanair.com until midnight Friday (17th July).
 
Speaking in Oslo (Rygge) Airport today, Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
 
“Ryanair is delighted to open seven new routes to/from Oslo (Rygge) Airport in October which will allow us to bring more low fares, more competition and choice to even more Norwegian consumers/visitors.

Ryanair’s June traffic grew by 13% while SAS’s June traffic fell by 16% as Scandinavian passengers switched from SAS’s high fares to Ryanair’s low fares.”
