In Belfast, Ryanair's Michael O'Leary said:
"We are pleased to launch our Belfast winter 2016 schedule, which grows to 3 based aircraft, 7 new routes to Alicante, Berlin, Krakow, Lanzarote, Malaga, Milan and Tenerife, as well as extra flights to London Gatwick
(5 x daily), and will deliver over 1m customers p.a. and support 750 jobs at our Belfast International base. Our 5 times daily London Gatwick service will be perfect for both business and leisure customers and we look
forward to growing routes, traffic and jobs in Belfast in the coming months and years.
This large inward investment (over $300m) and new job creation is the latest example of how Northern Ireland benefits from the UK's membership of the European Union. Low fare air travel, which was pioneered by
Ryanair in the UK and Europe, is one of the EU's great success stories. We are calling on everyone in Northern Ireland to vote 'Yes' to Europe in the Brexit referendum in June, because staying in Europe will mean stronger
economic growth, more tourism and more jobs for young people, whereas leaving will reduce the UK to the same status as Norway - namely outside the EU, but part of the single market (for which Norway still pays and
still obeys the EU rules), but with no role in setting EU policy or strategy."
ENDS
*ACI research confirms up to 750 'on-site' jobs are sustained at international airports for every 1m passengers
