Ryanair to expand Brussels services

Budget airline Ryanair has announced plans to expand its services from Brussels from spring next year. The expansion will see Ryanair base one of its new Boeing 737-800 aircraft at Charleroi Airport from March 31st next year. Ryanair confirmed that the new aircraft will operate three new routes: three weekly return flights to Barcelona and Bratislava, as well as a twice-weekly service to Trieste. In a company statement, it was claimed that the expansion was decided after the Belgian government abandoned plans for a proposed €10 (£8. 50) tax on air passengers. A Ryanair spokesman, Michael Crawley, said: 'Thanks to the Belgian government's decision to listen to the concerns of the business community, the tourism industry, airports and airlines the people of Brussels are celebrating the arrival of a sixth based aircraft and three exciting new routes which go on sale today. ' Ryanair also recently announced a new winter flight schedule, which will see daily flights from Barcelona Girona in north east Spain to Gatwick Airport from December 18th.
