Ryanair launches new bases in Billund and Palma

Traditional Danish Kaj cakes were served as Billund in Denmark became a Ryanair base. Passengers on the first flight to Krakow were handed the celebratory cakes – based on a Danish cartoon but also an illustration of Irish leprechauns - by Legoman and a leprechaun along with Billund Airport’s Marketing Manager Jesper Klausholm and Ryanair’s Nordic Sales & Marketing Executive Elina Hakkarainen.

Ryanair’s new route to Tallinn from Manchester was celebrated in the Estonian capital with a football-themed cake celebration.

Ryanair’s new route to Tallinn from Manchester was celebrated in the Estonian capital with a football-themed cake celebration. The cake was cut by Ryanair’s Nordic & Baltic Sales & Marketing Executive Elina Hakkarainen and Tallinn Airport’s MD Erik Sakkov.

This cake was baked to celebrate Ryanair’s new services to Perugia in Umbria; ‘the Green Heart of Italy’. This week, flights have launched to Girona in Spain and in next week’s issue, we will report on the domestic service from Milan Bergamo.

Poland's Bydgoszcz Airport celebrated Ryanair's new route to Glasgow Prestwick with this substantial cake, which was served in the airport's departure hall. Including the Girona route, which also launched this week and will be reported on in next week's anna.aero, the Irish low-cost carrier now dominates the airport with six destinations. As much as we wanted, we did not manage to get in touch with the lady taking the picture of the cake to get hold of her presumably perfect shot of the cutting, so on this occasion photo credits go to Jarosław Pruss.

  • Having apparently woken from its winter slumbers during which time passenger numbers were down, 80 aircraft were parked, and the only new routes launched so far in 2012 were in Budapest (where the airline responded rapidly to Malev’s collapse), Ryanair is growing once more with the launch this week of new bases (in Billund and Palma de Mallorca) and some 70 new routes (with many more to follow next week) involving 74 airports. The following table summarises the many new routes. For competitor analysis, see our regular downloadable spreadsheet of all new routes launched this week.
