New Ryanair Route between UK and France
London-Stansted - Clermont-Ferrand for EUR19.99
Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airlines, today (7 April 2003) announced a new
daily route between London-Stansted and Clermont-Ferrand, France with fares
starting from EUR19.99 including taxes.
Announcing details of the new route, Conal Henry, Commercial Director of
Ryanair.com, said:
"Ryanair's low fares arrived in France in 1997 with the opening of our
Dublin-Paris route. Air France's high fares stifled travel from France but our
low fares rapidly changed all that. Today, the French have a choice of 26
Ryanair low fare routes from France to the UK, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy
and Sweden.
To date, close to 2m passengers have taken advantage of Ryanair's low fares in
France and we expect to carry 80,000 passengers on this new route. This will be
a huge boost to local tourism and we expect it will create many new jobs in the
region.
Ryanair Passengers Save 94%
Air France (to Ryanair Low Fare Saving
Gatwick)
EUR443 EUR19.99 94%
"The route starts on 1st of May and passengers can expect to save over 90% on
the fares charged by High Fare airlines like Air France. Better yet, Ryanair is
No. 1 for punctuality, so passengers will get to London quicker than anyone
else."
Demand is going be to huge, so hurry to www.ryanair.com and start booking today.
