Ryanair celebrated the opening of its new Brussels Zaventem base by releasing 100,000 seats on sale at prices from €19.99 for travel in April and May.

The offer is due to end at midnight tonight.

Ryanair last week opened its second Belgian base at Brussels Zaventem with four based aircraft and 10 routes.

The airline projects that it will carry up to 1.5 million passengers per year to the airport and sustain some 1,500 ‘on-site’ jobs with 200 weekly flights.

The 10 routes are to Alicante, Barcelona, Ibiza, Lisbon, Mala­ga, Palma, Porto, Rome, Valencia and Venice.

“Our 10 new Zaventem routes with multiple daily frequencies are ideal for business passengers or families booking their summer holidays. Customers can also enjoy Ryanair’s recent customer service enhancements, including a second free carry-on bag, allocated seating and the use of portable electronic devices throughout their flight,” said Ryanair’s chief marketing officer, Kenny Jacobs.
