A LEADING budget airline company has revealed its list of winter routes from an Essex airport, and it includes some new ones.

Ryanair has listed its full list of winter destinations from London Stansted as it sets to jet off passengers for mid-term getaways after a successful summer.

Following on from the summer, where Ryanair worked at 115 per cent capacity at Stansted.

They have been offering customers more than 150 routes this summer connecting 28 countries, with more than 1,300 flights per week.

Now, as the summer nears its end, bosses say they expect the demand to continue into the end of the year.

Ryanair is adding more than 500 flights serving London Stansted during the October half-term school holiday after Heathrow extended its cap on passenger numbers.

The company said the extra flights at the Essex airport will have capacity for 100,000 passengers.

It also insisted that it and Stansted have “more than sufficient staff to handle these additional flights”.

Ryanair Director of marketing, communications and digital Dara Brady said: “It is very early doors, but we expect the demand for winter travel will be strong.

“There will be everything from summer sun, to city breaks, and business connections, so a lot of very wide-ranging options.

“People love to take city breaks or mid-term breaks in the winter, and we expect that again this year.”

The Irish airline company is set to continue its popular links to destinations in France, Spain and Portugal, as well as other locations across Europe.

It has also revealed the four new routes it is introducing this winter in Catania, Klagenfurt, Asturias and Rovaniemi in Lapland.
