Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive of budget airline Ryanair, has today announced it is to expand its operation, creating up to one thousand jobs at airports in Liverpool, Manchester and the East Midlands.
Ryanair will be adding nine new services and adding two aircraft from summer 2013, at Manchester and East Midlands airports with five new routes from Manchester, bringing its total up to 34, to Corfu, Krakow, Lanzarote, Paphos and Trapani adding 360,000 new passengers and creating 360 new jobs.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast this morning, Michael O’Leary added that the company’s success at a time when other carriers are struggling was partly due to its strategy of basing some larger aircraft at regional airports around the UK, rather than London.
