Since these amazing low prices will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out."
 
Divisional CEO at London Stansted, Andrew Cowan said:
 
"Today's announcement by Ryanair is fantastic news for Stansted Airport and passengers from across the east of England and London. Ryanair is an important and valued partner for us at Stansted and we're delighted to support the airline's exciting expansion plans for the summer, which will help ensure Stansted remains one of the UK's fastest growing airports and see us serve well over 25 million passengers a year within the next 12 months.  
Stansted sits at the heart of one of the UK's most innovative and rapidly developing growth corridors between London and Cambridge, so the new destinations and increase in flights on key routes will offer passengers and businesses even more choice at great value. This builds on the strength of Ryanair's extensive network at Stansted that now serves 140 destinations from the airline's largest base in Europe."
