In addition to the services which were already offered, Barcelona-Girona, Alicante and Pisa, we were able to announce three new destinations in a short period of time. This means we are continuing the growth which we had started with Ryanair two years ago, before the introduction of the Dutch aviation tax. We have high expectations of these services".
Henrike Schmidt, Ryanair's Sales en Marketing Manager Netherlands "Again, Ryanair proves to stand it word and is announcing not one but two new routes. This is a clear sign that the scrapping of the Flight Tax has a positive effect not only for Ryanair in the Netherlands but the local Tourism Industry. We appeal to Ireland and the UK to do the same and scrap unnecessary taxes so that passengers can enjoy traveling Europe with the cheapest fares possible – bookable on www.ryanair.com".
