IRISH low-cost airline Ryanair has launched 12 new winter routes to the Canaries – to celebrate May Day!
The flights will begin at the end of October as an important part of the company’s 2013-14 winter season.
This means that Tenerife is now very much a central hub for cheap Ryanair flights throughout Europe.
The flights are already on sale from www.ryanair.com and Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said: “We are delighted to launch these winter sun routes toTenerifeand Gran Canaria.
“We are connecting airports in Austria,Denmark,Germany,Norway and Sweden with the Canaries.
“This will ensure that our passengers can enjoy sunshine destinations all year round.”
