Ryanair will start flying from Malta to Bournemouth in the south of England, twice weekly, as from next March 30.

To celebrate, it is offering 500,000 €5 seats across its European network for travel in January.

They have to be booked by midnight on Sunday. Blackout periods and terms and conditions apply.

The €5 flights available from Malta are to Bari, Girona, Madrid, Pisa, Trapani and Venice.

The airline said this was its 13th route from Malta, the other 12 being Edinburgh, Bristol, London-Luton and Leeds Bradford, Madrid and Barcelona), Pisa, Bari, Venice and Trapani, Dublin and Stockholm.

Sales and marketing executive for Italy, Malta and Croatia Ida Buonanno said:

“Ryanair will continue to grow as other airlines pull routes and reduce capacity whilst incurring significant losses.

“With passengers becoming increasingly price sensitive, Ryanair will continue to expand so that even more passengers can take advantage of Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharges.”
