Ryanair look east from Blackpool Airport
16.07.06
No-frills airline Ryanair could soom be helping Blackpool Airport passengers jet off on an east European revolution. The airline, which has three routes from Blackpool, to London Stansted, Dublin and Girona-Barcelona, revealed eastern Europe could be its next destination.
Karl Hogstadius, Ryanair's UK sales and marketing manager, said the company is currently talking to more than 50 European airports with the hope of adding more routes to its expansion plans. And with the Dublin-based airline in the process of buying a further 100 Boeing jets, the company wants to double its passenger intake to 70m every year.
Hogstadius said: 'We are looking at many more destinations to add to our portfolio and of course Blackpool is part of our plans. In the past year we have flown around 280,000 passengers from the resort.'
'We are delighted with the flights from Blackpool and we have high hopes for the future. We want to be part of the masterplan and want to take even more travellers to and from Blackpool to experience more European cities.'
