Ryanair eyes 50% share in Polish market

Irish airline Ryanair is counting on increasing its share in the Polish market from 30 to 50 percent over the next five years, the company’s director general Michael O’Leary told ISBnews. He said that the Polish air transport market is still young and not developed enough compared to those of Western Europe. He expects it to grow from the current 24 million passengers to more than 30 million passengers. “In the summer Ryaniar will open seven new destinations and will increase the number of connections from Warsaw-Modlin to 32,” O’Leary said. “There will also be more flights from Warsaw to Gdańsk and Wrocław, two every day,” he said. At an earlier press conference, O’Leary also said that Ryanair would open a new hub on the Warsaw-Modlin airport.
