“Ryanair will operate over 140 weekly flights across 27 routes to/from LLA this Summer and offer London’s citizens/visitors unbeatable choice at the lowest fares in Europe for Summer ‘23 getaways.”
Also commenting on the news was Jonathan Rayner, London Luton Airport’s Chief Commercial Officer:
“We are delighted to welcome the arrival of these three new fuel-efficient Ryanair aircraft at London Luton Airport.”
“As well as our commitment to achieve Net Zero Carbon for our own airport emissions by 2040, we are working closely with our airlines to reduce their emissions, and Ryanair’s investment in these next-generation aircraft is an exciting development that underlines its commitment to working sustainably with LLA.

Ryanair Continues To Ramp Up Ahead of the Summer…
For Ryanair, it remains clear that the growth opportunities are endless, and are taking advantage of this, especially through its 737 MAX 200 Gamechanger aircraft.
As more units of the type continue to be delivered, this level of fleet growth encourages more route growth moving forward.
All eyes will be on the carrier moving forward to see whether the carrier will order more units of the type and how much further they can take this exponential route growth across Europe.
The Irish low-cost carrier will definitely be one to look out for going into the future.
