RYANAIR will increase its fleet at Luton Airport by adding three brand new aircraft for summer 2023.
The Irish airline has confirmed that three of its new ‘gamechanger’ aircraft will be added to its existing fleet at London Luton Airport.
“These three brand new 737 8200 Gamechanger aircraft are more environmentally friendly and will reduce noise by 40 per cent and CO2 emissions by 16 per cent while delivering greater capacity to carry 4 per cent more passengers per flight” they state.
The airline’s decision to allocate the new aircraft to Luton Airport forms part of its joint strategy with the airport to “deliver growth in a sustainable way”.
Ryanair will operate over 140 weekly flights across 27 routes to/from London Luton Airport this summer, including nine new routes to Bezier, Bologna, Malta and Seville.
