Ryanair now flies 14 direct daily international routes from Scotland and this year Ryanair will carry 2 Million passengers to/from Scotland, delivering 1.2 Million visitors to Scottish tourism, creating 2000 tourism jobs in Scotland, and making Glasgow Prestwick Airport Glasgow's really international airport. 'Fares start at an incredible £19.99 o/w to Shannon and £29.99 o/w to Milan, saving consumers a whopping £416.00 and £356.00 respectively off BA's rip-off high fares. Not only will consumers and visitors save huge amounts of money, they will also save time too, with no need for wasting hours being forced by BA through congested hub airports like Heathrow, Birmingham or Manchester.Seats for the new routes are on sale right now at www.ryanair.com. We would urge the public to book now - and remember there's £20.00 OFF return fares on all routes until midnight Thursday 30th October. At these new low fares, Ryanair's new routes will be an instant hit with visitors to Scotland and Scottish consumers. 'Ryanair's commitment to Scotland continues with these new routes and next month, 200 new jobs will be created at Ryanair's new maintenance facility at Glasgow Prestwick Airport.'
