As from September, Ryanair will start operating a new route between Malta and Bremen,
Germany, the
airline announced in a statement on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the Government issued another call for
proposals from low-cost carriers to operate new and under-served routes to Malta, opening up the possibility for low-cost
airlines to operate to Malta
from the Germany city as
well from Bari in Italy,
any airport in Spain, Portugal and Scandinavia.
According to The Times of Malta , Ryanair's Sales Manager for Southern
Europe, Bridget Dowling, said the Malta-Bremen route will operate three times
weekly as from the 25th September.
At present Ryanair serves the routes of Dublin, Ireland,
Luton in London, the United
Kingdom and Pisa, in Italy.
Ms Dowling told the Times of Malta that Ryanair has already seen great
success on the three existing Ryanair routes from Malta,
adding that the airline is confident that this new route to Bremen will be equally successful. "This
will mean more inbound passengers to Malta
as well as a greater choice and even more low fares for Maltese consumers who
want to escape from Air Malta's
high fares," she continued.
To mark this new route, Ryanair is offering flights from just one euro cent,
excluding taxes, on all Maltese routes.
