Ryanair
is expected to start operating a new route to and from Valencia in Spain as from the 30th October.
A three times weekly flight will be scheduled on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday, leaving Valencia
at 1230CET and reaching Gudja
at 1500CET.
Presently,
Ryanair already operates flights to and from Luton, London
in the United Kingdom, Dublin in Ireland
and Pisa in Italy. Additionally, it will start
operating another flight to and from the Spainish city of Girona, along with flights to Bremen in Germany
and Nykoping, Stockholm
in Sweden in the coming weeks.
Speaking
of the new scheduled route, Minister for Tourism and Culture Dr Francis Zammit Dimech pointed out that Ryanair will bring
around 160,000 passengers to Malta
in one year through its seven routes.
While
noting that 2007 has so far recorded the highest number of tourist arrivals in
six years, Dr Zammit Dimech said that the introduction of low cost airlines was
important to these positive results, along with the improvements to Malta’s promotion
and product, the organization of high quality cultural activities as well as continuous
improvement to the infrastructure.
