RYANAIR OPENS 3 NEW BASES AT EINDHOVEN, KRAKOW & ZADAR
 
100,000 SEAT SALE FROM JUST £12
 
Ryanair, Europe's only ultra-low cost carrier (ULCC), today (4 Apr) celebrated the opening this week of its new bases at Eindhoven, Krakow and Zadar, bringing Ryanair's European base network to 54, with an additional 3 bases set to open at Chania (Greece), Fez and Marrakech (both Morocco) by the end of April.
 
Eindhoven is Ryanair's second Dutch base (following the opening of Maastricht in December) with one-based aircraft and 31 routes, which will deliver up to 1.7m passengers p.a. and sustain 1,700* "on-site" jobs, as Ryanair invests over $85m at Eindhoven Airport.
 
Ryanair also opened its second base in Poland at Krakow, with two-based aircraft and 31 routes, which will deliver up to 1.6m passengers p.a. and sustain 1,600* "on-site" jobs, representing a $170m investment at Krakow Airport.
 
Zadar, meanwhile, is Ryanair's first Croatian base, with one-based aircraft and 17 routes, which will deliver up to 300,000 passengers p.a. and sustain 300 "on-site" jobs, as Ryanair invests over $85m at Zadar Airport.
 
Ryanair celebrated the opening of its three new bases by launching a 100,000 seat sale across its entire European network, with prices starting from just £12 for travel in May, which are available for booking until midnight (24:00hrs) Monday (8 Apr).
 
Ryanair's Robin Kiely said:
