ROUTE START DATE FARE* Biarritz 19th April 05 EUR 29.99 Carcassonne 19th April 05 EUR 29.99 Rome 19th April 05 EUR 29.99 Eindhoven 19th April 05 EUR 19.99 Doncaster Sheffield 28th April 05 EUR 4.99 Frankfurt 3rd May 05 EUR 19.99 *One way tax inclusive Announcing Ryanair's six new routes in Dublin today, Ryanair's Deputy Chief Executive, Michael Cawley, said: "These six new routes from Europe to Dublin are great news for Irish consumers, Irish tourism, and Irish jobs. By launching low fare flights to Germany, Italy and the South of France, Ryanair will make Europe affordable for Irish consumers at fares that are less than half the price of Aer Lingus' so called lowest prices. "We also expect that more than half of the traffic on these new routes will be European visitors, who will no longer be deterred by Aer Lingus' high fares. Ryanair will use its large marketing presence in these overseas markets to drum up business for Irish tourism. "Ryanair expects to carry over 500,000 passengers per annum on these six routes, this will create over 500 new jobs here at Dublin Airport. These new links show what can be done if Bertie Ahern would honour his election promise and deliver a competing second terminal instead of three years of dithering. A competing second terminal would bring 5 million new passengers per annum and create 5,000 jobs, these routes today are just a taste of what's possible if only decision would replace dithering as the tourism policy of Bertie Ahern's Government."
