Ryanair focuses on Sardinia: an extra plane is planned for the Cagliari base with an additional investment of 100 million dollars (300 total) and with a total number of routes that is updated to 38. But even Alghero is not joking, in fact it doubles : from ten to twenty routes and therefore from half a million to a million passengers. And on the island, the routes served are thus updated to 58.

These are the plans announced by Jason McGuinnes, commercial director of the Irish low cost airline. And there is also a hypothesis of returning to the base for Alghero: "We are talking with the airport - explains McGuinness - for now it is an idea. But we are strengthening".

This morning, however, Ryanair spoke at a press conference especially in Cagliari. Announcing four more routes to Carcassonne, Palma de Mallorca, Nuremberg and Poznan. They are added to now classic destinations such as Paris, Madrid, Dublin, Milan, Venice. There will therefore be 28 connections for a 50 percent increase in pre-pandemic capacity (170 flights per week) and ninety direct jobs.

Ryanair reiterated its proposal to cut the municipal tax in Italy at least until 2025. "This would allow us further investments - said the commercial director - and above all greater competitiveness because this tax does not exist in other countries".

Sogaer satisfied: "A fundamental growth figure - says CEO Renato Branca on Ryanair's investments - 50 percent is really a lot". And the region is optimistic: "There are positive signs - observes the councilor for tourism Gianni Chessa - for the new season: also well in view of our seasonal adjustment plans. We want to strengthen these commercial agreements".

To celebrate the new agreement, Ryanair announces a promotion with fares available starting from 19.99 euros for travel from March to October: you must book by February 5th. The 38 routes in Cagliari exceed the pre-pandemic numbers: it is the largest summer operation for the capital.
