“As Spain’s leading airline, we are delighted to offer even greater choice for our Spanish customers this summer, with nine more domestic routes launched today. We are thrilled to continue delivering growth to the regions and promoting connectivity between Spain’s mainland and the Canary and Balearic Islands, despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. Vaccination programmes are due to accelerate in the coming months, and with pent-up domestic and international demand likely to increase this Summer, we are confident new routes to Spain’s most popular holiday destinations will attract strong interest from our Spanish customers.
“Mindful that Covid restrictions regularly, Ryanair is now allowing up to two free flight date changes on all bookings should plans change. Customers can now book flights for a well-deserved break knowing that if they need to postpone or change their travel dates, they can do so with a ‘Zero Change Fee’ until the end of October 2021. To celebrate, we’re launching a seat sale with fares available from just €19.99 for travel until the end of October 2021, which must be booked by midnight Saturday, 13th March only on the Ryanair.com website.”
