Ryanair, Europe's favourite low fares airline, today (23 Jan) announced it would open its 3rd Portuguese base (65 in total) at Lisbon in April 2014 with one based aircraft and 4 new routes (9 in total) as Ryanair invests over $90m at Lisbon Airport.

From April 2014 Ryanair will grow at Lisbon as follows:

· 1 based aircraft

· 4 new routes: Dole, Manchester, Marseille & Pisa (9 in total)

· 124 weekly flights

· 900,000 pax p.a

· 900* "on site" jobs

Ryanair celebrated its new Lisbon and 4 new routes base by releasing 100,000 seats on sale at prices from €17.99 for travel in Feb and Mar, which are available for booking until midnight Monday (27 Jan). Ryanair's new Lisbon routes will begin in April and will go on sale on www.ryanair.com tomorrow.

In Lisbon today, Ryanair's Chief Commercial Officer, David O'Brien said:

"Ryanair is delighted to announce Lisbon as our 65th base (and our third in Portugal) and to unveil 4 new routes to Dole, Manchester, Marseille and Pisa beginning in April, as part of our summer 2014 schedule, which will go on sale on www.ryanair.comtomorrow.

Our 4 new Lisbon routes will allow Portuguese consumers and visitors to escape TAP's high fares and instead enjoy Ryanair's lowest fares and industry leading customer service and punctuality. Only Ryanair, with its 175 new aircraft order, can deliver the capacity, new markets and low costs demanded by Portuguese consumers and visitors, and looks forward to working with Lisbon Airport to unlock the vast potential currently suppressed by high access air costs.

To celebrate Ryanair's new Lisbon base and 4 new routes, Ryanair is launching a seat sale with fares starting from €17.99 for travel across Europe in February and March, which are available for booking until midnight Monday (27 Jan). Since seats at these crazy low prices will be snapped up quickly, we urge passengers to book them immediately on www.ryanair.com."
