Ryanair, Europe’s favourite low fares airline, on January 23rd celebrated its 8 millionth customer on flights to and from Riga. The lucky passenger, Inna Kudrjasova, arriving from London Stansted was greeted by Ryanair and the airport management at Riga airport.

Inna received a Ryanair flight voucher and a gift from Riga airport. All the other passengers were served cake to celebrate this occasion.

 

Since Ryanair’s first flight departed from Riga to Frankfurt Hahn in 2004 the company has expanded its operations and continues to offer the lowest fares to its Latvian customers. In 2015 Ryanair will increase its passenger volume in Latvia to 885 000 customers, and support 885* “on site” jobs at the airport and in the region. Ryanair’s Riga summer 2015 schedule is now available on the Ryanair.com where customers can choose from 13 exciting routes. Ryanair’s summer 2015 schedule will deliver:

 

-          13 routes

-          1 new route to Cologne (extended from W14 season)

-          55 weekly flights

 

Ryanair’s Nordic Sales & Marketing Executive Neringa Öhrström said:

 

“We are very happy to be able to celebrate Ryanair’s 8 millionth customer in Riga today. During the last ten years millions of Latvians have travelled with us to destinations in Europe and millions of tourists have taken the opportunity to visit Riga. Today marks a great milestone for Ryanair and we look forward to a continuous cooperation with Riga airport to be able to offer our Latvian customers the lowest fares as well as the best customer service.

 

This summer our Latvian customers can choose from 13 routes from Riga to a range of European city break destinations while enjoying an improved travel experience. We offer everyone allocated seating, a free second carry-on bag, a new website, a brand new app with mobile boarding passes as well as the dedicated family and business services, Family Extra and Business Plus, making Ryanair the ideal choice for families, business and leisure travellers.

 

To celebrate our 8 millionth passenger, Ryanair has launched a seat sale from 19.99 EUR for travel in January, February and March. These seats are available on selected routes like Riga to Cologne, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt, but are only available until midnight (24:00hrs) Monday 26th January, so we urge customers to book these flights on the Ryanair.com website before they sell out.”
