Ryanair celebrates four millionth city passenger
NO-FRILLS airline Ryanair is celebrating its four millionth passenger at Edinburgh Airport.
Since the budget carrier began operating in the Capital in 2001, it has gone from one route to 39.
The airline's Maria Macken said: "Ryanair now operates thirty-nine routes to and from Edinburgh to top European destinations including four recently-announced routes to Hamburg Lubeck, Faro, Marrakesh and Paris from May 2010, which will grow Ryanair's annual traffic at Edinburgh to over 2.5 million passengers, sustaining 2,500 local jobs."
Gordon Dewar, managing director of Edinburgh Airport, added: "This is a fantastic milestone.
The partnership we have formed with Ryanair is not only good for the airport, but for Edinburgh and Scotland as whole. We're looking forward to the next 4m passengers and beyond."
