Upbeat Ryanair unveils 10,000 weekly flights for northern summer

Two of the cities have never before been served by BA and flights to all four will head out from London Heathrow from the beginning of July and operate throughout the summer.

“It’s great to be launching new routes as we listen to our customers and assess where they want to travel,’’ said British Airways director networks and alliances Neil Chernoff.

“We know these four new destinations will be popular with people visiting friends and relatives, but they also offer great city breaks, when the time is right, with flights that head out just before the weekend and return on Sunday.”

Flights to Wroclaw will operate twice a week while those to Gdansk, Riga and Cluj-Napoca operating three times a week.

Bookings are already open and return fares start  from £83 to Wroclaw, £85 to Gdansk, £94 to Riga, and £95 to Cluj,

The British carrier last operated flights to Riga in 2007 and flew briefly to Gdansk between 1999 and the early-2000s. It has never served the other two airports.

The airline said the flights complemented an already strong network to most of the countries with regular flights scheduled to Krakow and Warsaw in Poland, and Bucharest in Romania.

It will also launch a new summer service to Perugia on June 28 that was due to start in 2020 but was delayed due to the impact of the pandemic.
