"We are pleased to launch our Dublin winter 2016 schedule, which includes 2 new routes to Hamburg and Sofia, 5 new winter services to Athens, Bologna, Murcia, Porto and Seville and more flights to Bucharest and London Gatwick, which will deliver 12.3 million annual customers at Dublin Airport. Last year Ryanair single handily delivered 70% of the growth at Dublin Airport, following the Government's decision to scrap the air travel tax, and we look forward to continuing to grow tourism, routes and jobs.
 
Our 105m customers can look forward to further improvements, as we continue our "Always Getting Better" programme, which includes more new routes, a new app, new cabin interiors, new crew uniforms and improved inflight menus.
 
To celebrate the launch of our Dublin winter 2016 schedule, we are releasing 100,000 seats for sale across our European network from just €19.99, which are available for booking until Monday (1 Feb). Since these amazing low prices will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out."
