Ryanair expanding presence in Germany through Dortmund and Nuremberg
Ryanair is planning to expand its presence in Germany through the launch of operations at Dortmund and Nuremberg in Mar-2013 and Apr-2013.
This expansion will see Ryanair become the third largest carrier at Dortmund Airport, challenging Germanwings for second place behind Wizz Air, with its initial six routes. Ryanair will also become the third largest carrier at Nuremberg, behind airberlin and Lufthansa.
Ryanair's entry into Nuremberg will again give the airport a significant LCC presence while strengthening its western European connections with six new routes. Meanwhile, Lufthansa's transfer of some European services to Germanwings in 2013 will see Ryanair face more intense competition across its German network.
In Oct-2012, Ryanair announced plans to launch services to Dortmund Airport and said six new routes will deliver over 200,000 passengers annually at the airport. Ryanair plans to initially operate 14 weekly frequencies at Dortmund, which it estimates will support 200 on-site jobs at the airport.
