Ryanair (RYAAY) Resumes Service From Belfast With 12 New Routes
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ryanair Holdings (RYAAY - Free Report) announced its plans to restart operating flights from the Belfast International Airport. The European carrier will be resuming operations with 12 new routes from next summer, operating 115 flights per week. The routes include Alicante, Faro, Barcelona Girona, Milan Bergamo and Malaga, coupled with domestic services to East Midlands, Edinburgh, London Stansted and Manchester.
Ryanair’s Belfast-based fleet will include two aircraft, generating 60 aviation jobs apart from creating multiple other indirect vacancies at Belfast International. The move also increases the number of destinations available from the airport to more than 70 domestic and international ones. As a result, passengers will get more traveling choices.
Further, George Best Belfast City Airport has announced new services to Cardiff and Southampton with Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Emerald Airlines. Michelle Hatfield, Corporate Services director at Belfast City Airport, said: “As one of the largest airline partners at Belfast City Airport, the addition of more Aer Lingus Regional services is fantastic for both business and leisure passengers wishing to travel to the UK."
Per Ryanair’s Management, reduced aviation taxes and competitive airport charges have encouraged them in their latest move to launch close to 80 weekly domestic flights to/from East Midlands, Edinburgh, London Stansted and Manchester. Notably, declining aviation taxes boost traffic growth and increase connectivity.
The latest move reflects Ryanair’s growth-oriented plans over the upcoming years and should boost traffic at the Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) European carrier. Notably, shares of RYAAY have lost 33.4% year to date compared with 23.8% loss of the industry it belongs to.
Kirby has an expected earnings growth rate of 278.57% for the current year. KEX delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7.7%, on average.
