On Tuesday (August 31, 2021), Ryanair announced their winter 2021/schedule to and from London Stansted, Luton and Gatwick. The schedule includes 142 routes, including seven new routes from Stansted and six new routes from Luton, and one new route from Gatwick. New service from London Stansted includes flights to Helsinki, Oradea, Stockholm, Tampere, Trapani, Treviso and Zagreb, while new routes from London Luton includes service to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Grenoble, Naples, Shannon and Turin. The carrier will also launch new service between London Gatwick and Malaga. Celebrating the launch of the new routes, Ryanair is offering introductory fares from £19.99 for travel through November 2021. To qualify for the low fares, tickets must be purchased on the airline’s website by midnight on Thursday, September 2, 2021.
In Tuesday’s announcement, Ryanair’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, said,
“Ryanair is committed to re-building the London’s tourism industry, jobs and connectivity as we grow across Europe and recover air travel to pre-Covid levels. As Ryanair takes delivery of 55 Boeing 737-8200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft this Winter, we are delighted to announce these 14 new routes from our three London airports in Stansted, Luton and Gatwick. We will also create over 500 new jobs for pilots, cabin crew and engineers this winter at our London airports as we gear up for more fleet and route growth in S2022.
“As vaccinations rise and consumer confidence returns, Ryanair again calls on the UK Govt to scrap PCR tests for fully vaccinated arrivals and also to suspend APD (air passenger duty), to allow airlines and airports quickly recover connectivity, jobs and tourism in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. APD makes UK airports uncompetitive against lower cost EU airports, which is why Ryanair has added capacity at other EU airports in recent months in the likes of Zagreb, Stockholm, Billund and Riga. While Ryanair is committed to its London airports, the lack of Govt support for aviation and tourism recovery creates further barriers to traffic and growth.
“Ryanair is launching a seat sale to celebrate the 14 new Winter routes from London, with fares available from just £19.99 for travel until end Nov 2021, which must be booked by midnight Thursday, 2nd September 2021. Our customers can now book in a sunny winter getaway to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria or Malaga or enjoy a city break to the likes of Stockholm, Naples, Helsinki and many more. Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com to avoid missing out.”
