Ryanair will be adding Krakow, Liverpool and Milan to its winter schedule, Malta representative Luis Fernandez-Mellado said this morning.

He told a news conference that the routes were already on the airline’s summer schedule.

In winter, Ryanair will go to and from Krakow once weekly, Liverpool twice a week and Milan, five times a week.

The airline will also be adding one weekly flight to Bristol, Edinburgh and Luton bringing its flights to these destinations up to three, two and five respectively.

Ryanair also announced a seat sale in which it is making available tickets to a number of European destinations for travel between July and August at €22.99. Tickets must be purchased before Monday.

Mr Fernandez-Mellado said Ryanair currently operated 30 routes in summer and, with the new additions, it will have 20 routes in winter.
