Announcing this new Edinburgh base, Ryanair’s Director of Scheduled Revenue, Sean Coyle said:
 
“Edinburgh Airport has competed successfully against airports across Europe for Ryanair’s 27th base. Our 19 routes will deliver significant economic benefits for Edinburgh by capitalising on Scotland’s huge tourism potential and making it cheaper and easier than ever before to get here.
 
“Ryanair already connects Scotland to more international destinations than any other airline and we look forward to delivering savings of over £20m for Edinburgh’s passengers compared to the high fares charged by Easyjet and BA.
 
“To celebrate the launch of our new Edinburgh base, we are releasing seats on all of our new routes for £10 including taxes and charges, while our existing routes to Dublin and Shannon will be available for just 1p all in. We advise passengers to snap up these bargain flights on www.ryanair.com, as this offer must end midnight Monday”.
