Ryanair to expand its base in Kraków

Irish low-cost airline Ryanair announced that it will expand its Kraków base by adding one additional aircraft, a move which will allow for increasing the number of passengers and routes. Out of four Polish bases, Kraków will be the only one receiving an additional airplane from the new batch of orders from Boeing. Ryanair will expand its network of connections with the addition of three new routes: to Barcelona Girona, Gran Canaria and Tenerife. There will be 106 Ryanair flights to and from Kraków per week in the winter season of 2015, said David O'Brien, sales director at Ryanair. He also assessed that the base expansion will allow for carrying 2 million passengers this year.
