Ryanair ramps up presence at Cardiff Airport as it launches new route

Europe’s biggest low-cost carrier Ryanair is ramping up its presence at Cardiff Airport. For the new summer season, commencing at the end of March, the Dublin-based airline will provide 26 inbound and outbound flights a week - a growth of 63% on last summer - including a new route to Belfast with four flights a week.

As well as its new scheduled route from Cardiff to Belfast International Airport, the airline will continue to offer flights to Dublin (14 a week for the new season), Faro (four) and for just the summer Malaga (four).

Ryanair will have 140,000 seats on sale on its routes out of Cardiff for the summer. It is expected, in line with its Europe-wide operations, to have a load factor of around 85% to 90%.
