00:00 If you're wanting to get a beer in Basel or a tan in Treviso, Ryanair has some good news.
00:07 This winter, the airline is expanding flights from London, increasing capacity from Stansted,
00:12 Gatwick and Luton by 15%. It also announced seven new routes from London.
00:19 From this winter, you can now go straight to Belfast to visit the Titanic Museum and
00:24 Giant's Causeway. Or you can pop over to Basel in Switzerland for its famous Christmas
00:30 market. There'll also now be flights to Oisezette,
00:33 Morocco's Little Hollywood, and Pobrad in Slovakia.
00:37 Also on the list is Treviso, the Italian birthplace of Prosecco and Tiramisu, as well as Vigo
00:43 in Spain and Tirana, the capital of Albania. Ryanair's also increasing operations on
00:49 30 existing routes. Unfortunately, the expansion is only in London, with Ryanair saying there's
00:56 been a fall in demand for flights from regional UK cities.
01:00 Michael O'Leary, Ryanair's CEO, said he expects demand to go down even more as people
01:06 struggle with the cost of living crisis. He said fares, which went up quickly after
01:11 the pandemic, may have to fall over the next six months to stimulate the market.
