Bratislava's Travel Scene Gets a Boost with Ryanair's Expanded Operations

Bratislava, the charming capital of Slovakia, has become a bustling hub for travelers, thanks to Ryanair's expanded services. On January 8th, Europe's leading airline, Ryanair, celebrated a significant milestone - transporting 15 million passengers to and from Bratislava. This celebration coincides with the unveiling of their summer 2024 schedule, which promises a more vibrant travel experience for those visiting or residing in Bratislava.

The new schedule introduces 21 exciting routes, including destinations like Corfu, Edinburgh, Kaunas, and Lanzarote, and augments three existing popular routes to Dublin, Eindhoven, and London. Ryanair's commitment to Bratislava is evident through a $200 million investment, which includes basing two aircraft at Bratislava Airport and supporting over 600 jobs, including 60 highly-skilled positions for pilots, cabin crew, and engineers.

This investment by Ryanair is set to transform Bratislava's travel landscape. With over 130 flights per week, Ryanair aims to provide travelers with an array of options, ensuring they find the perfect summer getaway at competitive prices. The influx of 0.6 million passengers annually will not only enhance Bratislava's appeal as a tourist destination but also stimulate job growth and economic development in the region.

Alicja Golebiowska, Ryanair's Head of Communications for Central and Eastern Europe, shares her enthusiasm, noting Ryanair's longstanding commitment to Bratislava. She emphasizes the airline's goal to continue investing in the city, boosting connectivity, tourism, and employment, contingent on competitive airport charges.

For those planning their summer escapes, Ryanair has launched a promotional offer with one-way fares starting at just €33.99, valid for travel until October 2024. This offer is exclusive to Ryanair's website, inviting travelers to explore Europe's treasures at unbeatable prices.

As Bratislava Airport's Chairman of the Board and CEO, Ing. Dušan Novota remarks, Ryanair's passenger milestone is not just a number but a testament to the airline's role as a stable and reliable partner since 2005. He looks forward to the continued growth and development of this partnership, benefiting both the airline and Bratislava's community.

With Ryanair's expanded schedule and services, Bratislava is poised to become a more prominent player in European travel, offering diverse destinations and experiences for tourists and residents alike.
