Ryanair opens four new routes to Stockholm from Biarritz, Brindisi, Ibiza and Malaga. Two weekly flights to Stockholm-Skavsta from Biarritz and Brindisi, three times per week from Ibiza. Ryanair also opens a new route Malaga to  Stockholm-Västerås Airport from Malaga with two flights per week from the summer 2011.

Speaking of Ryanair, I recently found out about a pretty serious expansion where the company will set up as many as 35 new routes, bringing their total to 112. The numbers, I got from here: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=IAJ9TT4G3X56&preview=article&linkid=3495b1d6-841b-463f-bbdf-bd9046c9aca6&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d, and was wondering whther or not you knew whether this is in fact, true. Just seems a bit drastic of an expansion given the current economic conditions. But definitely glad to hear about the ski routes, but as a skier, I could be biased. Not sure whether the economic gains will cover this portion of the expansion.



Anyway, appreciate the post!
