Overall
New route announcements seem to be coming in with short space inbetween these days when it comes to Ryanair. However, it is not that surprising given their position and demand in the aviation market.
Their fleet size, subsidiaries included, also compliments nicely to these new additions in the route network, and Ryanair don’t seem to stop any time soon.
