The airline will operate a twice weekly service to Athens, Bari, Frankfurt, Marrakesh and Santander, a three times weekly service to Luxembourg and a weekly service to Paphos. Ryanair also announced that it will add frequency on 11 of its existing services from Dublin Airport.

We will work closely with Ryanair to help promote its new services,’ he added.
