Ryanair announced it will open a new base at Gothenburg (No. 74), from September with 1 based aircraft, (an investment of $100m), as well as extra flights to London, which will deliver 600,000 customers p.a., and support 600* “on-site” jobs at Gothenburg Airport.

From September, Ryanair will open a base in Gothenburg and deliver:

  • 1 based aircraft ($100m)
  • 13 routes in total
  • Extra frequencies to/from London (from 2 to 3 x daily flights)
  • 600,000 customers p.a.
  • 600* “on site” jobs

Ryanair celebrated the launch of its new Gothenburg base by releasing seats for sale on its increased Gothenburg route to London Stansted at prices starting from 129 SEK for travel in September, which must be booked by Thursday (2 July).

In Gothenburg, Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said: “Ryanair is pleased to open a new Gothenburg base from September, our second base in Sweden, with one base aircraft and 13 routes, which will deliver 600,000 customers p.a. and support 600 jobs at Gothenburg Airport. Our Gothenburg – London route will also increase from 2 to 3 flights daily from September.

Sweden is a significant growth market for Ryanair and as we announce our second Swedish base at Gothenburg, we will continue to connect Sweden with Europe’s major centres of business, such as London, Milan and Paris, making Ryanair the ideal choice for both business and leisure customers.

To celebrate our new Gothenburg base we are releasing seats for sale on our expanded Gothenburg service to London Stansted at prices starting from just 129 SEK for travel in September, which must be booked by Thursday (2 July). Since these amazing low prices will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto ryanair.com and avoid missing out.”

Ryanair June traffic grows 14% to 9.5m. customers
Ryanair also released customer and load factor statistics for June as follows:

  • Traffic grew 14% to 9.5m customers.
  • Load factor rose 5% points to 93%.
  • Rolling annual traffic to June grew 14% to 94.3m customers.

Kenny Jacobs said: “Ryanair’s June traffic grew by 14% to 9.5m customers, while our load factor jumped by 5% points to 93%, thanks to our lower fares, our stronger forward bookings and the continuing success of our “Always Getting Better” customer experience improvement programme, which continues to deliver better than expected load factors on our significantly expanded summer schedule.

Alongside our new routes, increased frequencies, Business Plus and Family Extra services, Ryanair customers can now look forward to further service enhancements, as we roll out Year 2 of our AGB programme in 2015, which includes a new website, new app, new cabin interiors, new crew uniforms, improved inflight menus, reduced fees, and great new digital features such as ‘hold the fare’ and price comparison services, as Ryanair continues to deliver so much more than just the lowest fares.”

* ACI confirms up to 1,000 ‘on-site’ jobs per 1m passengers.
