RYANAIR ANNOUNCES FOUR NEW ROUTES AND INCREASED CAPACITY FROM STOCKHOLM 

Increased capacity to Berlin, Eindhoven, Milan and Riga

New routes to Krakow, Lodz, Prague and Wroclaw

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline, today (Tuesday, 15th July) announced four new routes from its Stockholm base to Krakow, Lodz, Prague and Wroclaw.  Ryanair also announced an increase in traffic to Berlin, Eindhoven Milan and Riga. These new routes will start in October. 

Announcing these four new routes, Dara Brady, Ryanair's Head of Advertising said:

'Ryanair's low fares in Sweden have been a tremendous success because Swedish passengers can't stand SAS's high fares and fuel surcharges. With these new routes Ryanair will carry 2.5 million passengers annually to and from Stockholm Skavsta for a small fraction of SAS's high fares, generating a visitor spend of 5 billion SEK  in the region.

'Only Ryanair guarantees the lowest fares* from Sweden. If any passenger finds a lower fare with another airline on the same route, Ryanair will refund double the difference. To celebrate these new routes, we are giving 400 Sek discount on all our return fares on all our flights. We urge all passengers to log onto www.ryanair.com immediately, as seats this cheap will sell out fast.'
