Ryanair currently serves six destinations from Manchester – Alicante, Dublin, Faro, Madrid, Palma and Tenerife – but will base two aircraft at the airport from this October, operating 17 routes initially, growing to four aircraft and 26 routes by next summer.
The full list of existing and planned routes is as follows:
Alicante, Girona, Bezier, Biarritz, Bremen, Brussels, Dublin, Faro, Frankfurt, Ibiza, Katowice, Madrid, Malaga, Memmingen, Milan, Murcia, Oslo, Palma, Paris, Reus, Rome, Rzeszow, Tallinn, Tours, Tenerife and Valencia
The new routes will go on sale at ryanair.com tomorrow (July 13). The news follows Bmibaby’s decision to drop its routes from Manchester from the end of the summer season (see online news April 13).
