Ryanair has unveiled plans to expand its operations by introducing new routes to major UK airports, including Bristol and Manchester. From Warsaw Modlin airport, the airline will operate 30 routes, adding five new destinations such as Bratislava, Shannon, and Zagreb. Additionally, at Warsaw Chopin airport, Ryanair will introduce seven new routes, including Liverpool, bringing the total destinations served to 16. The expansion involves an investment of $800 million and will increase the fleet at Modlin Airport to eight aircraft. Ryanair anticipates transporting four million passengers annually from both Warsaw airports. This announcement follows a recent incident where more than 100 flights were canceled due to an 'illegal wildcat' strike by Belgian air traffic controllers, disrupting travel plans for nearly 20,000 passengers. Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, expressed frustration over the lack of notice given to airlines regarding the strike, emphasizing the need for fair notice to minimize disruptions for travelers, particularly families on holiday.
