As Italy's No 1 airline, we are pleased to add another key primary airport to what is already Europe's largest route network, as we continue to connect Italy with Europe's major centres of business. We will continue to operate and grow at Milan Bergamo Airport and as demonstrated by the success of our dual airport strategies in Brussels, Glasgow and Rome, Ryanair will remain the ideal choice for both business and leisure customers.
 
To celebrate our new Milan Malpensa base we are releasing seats for sale at prices starting from just € 9.99 for travel in December and January, which must be booked by Thursday (3 Sept). Since these amazing low prices will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out."
