Ryanair debuts in Madeira with new base and ten routes, including Lisbon and Porto

Low cost carrier announces its arrival in Funchal. Flights are expected to start in the summer of 2022 and may revolutionise prices in the Madeiran airline market.

And finally, 18 years after its debut in Portugal, the aircraft carrier of low-cost flights will arrive at the major Portuguese airport it was missing, Funchal, which will be a new operational base for the company from March. In Madeira, Ryanair will start with ten routes, with five new direct destinations and 40 weekly frequencies, highlighting the connections to Lisbon, with two daily flights, and Porto, with one daily flight.

Among the routes guaranteed and already available on the company’s website, in addition to domestic connections, are Marseille, Manchester, London Stansted, Milan Bergamo, Brussels Charleroi, Dublin, Nuremberg and Paris Beauvais. The debut prices, which should take place in March 2022, start at 29.99 euros per leg, it is announced in the campaign activated in the meantime: tickets for the routes are already on sale for spring-summer.

The investment announced is US$200 million (¤178 million, essentially linked to the value of the aircraft), with the creation of “over 60 direct jobs in the region and over 400 indirect jobs”, said Ryanair in a statement. The operation should guarantee 350,000 new seats, a potential 22 percent increase in passenger transport. According to the company, the Madeiran base will have two aircraft positioned.

The details were revealed at a press conference at Cristiano Ronaldo Airport, attended by Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson, and also attended by the Minister of Economy, Siza Vieira, Miguel Albuquerque, President of the Regional Government of Madeira, and Thierry Ligonnière, CEO of ANA Aeroportos de Portugal/Vinci.

Until now, Funchal–Lisbon flights were only guaranteed by TAP and Easyjet. The two companies also operate the Funchal–Porto connection, in this case competing also with Transavia.

Portugal golf holidays – Portugal with new air routes in the summer

Portugal with new air routes in the summer

Portugal with new air routes

Ryannair is an important partner for the development of tourism in Portugal and so the Tee Times Golf Agency considers these new routes of great importance, as the frequency of flights is vital to encourage travelers, especially golfers both for the Algarve and for Lisbon.

Operating already in Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Ponta Delgada and Terceira (Lajes) airports, Ryanair announced that two new routes, Lisbon-Cologne (Germany), with two weekly flights, and Faro-Belfast (Northern Ireland), with daily flights, will be included in their new summer programme, plans to operate a total of 121 routes in Europe and 595 flights during the high season.

For Ryanair, this is an optimistic message of hope and confidence in the return of trips for this summer being favourable with the European Union’s proposal for the creation of “green certificates” that allow citizens of the Member States to travel between the different countries during the summer, although, they think that should not be a discriminatory factor among voyagers.

Ryanair currently operates at 240 airports, has 77 bases in 40 countries and expects to receive more than 200 new Boeing aircraft in the coming years.

Aroeira and Oporto Golf Club

The Oporto Golf Club (OGC) will present a very young team to participate in the next three days at the UEFA European club teams challenge, a golf equivalent to the UEFA Champions League, organised by the European Golf Association (EGA).

Afonso Girão, 19, last year’s under-18 Portuguese national champion and the best amateur in the recent Solverde National PGA Championship, is the only experienced playor of Espinho based team, coached by Eduardo Maganinho and captained by Miguel Montenegro. He is joined by Vasco Alves was national champion sub-16 last year and João Pedro Maganinho was national runner-up sub-14 in 2015.

Tiago Rodrigues became professional just two months ago, having competed the American college circuit, and the transfer of João Girão to the same championship in the United States three months ago, seriously embezzled the OGC, which this year won the Solverde Club National Championship.

It is not expected the Portuguese side to repeat the triumph of Vilamoura Golf Club in 2013, when the tournament was played at Aroeira Country Club.

And it is exactly in this county resort located near Almada that the champions from 23 countries will play, in a tournament co-hosted by the Portuguese Golf Federation, which had this week to deploy efforts given its presence also in Portugal Masters in the Algarve.

From this European elite gentlemen’s clubs, we highlight the five-time winners of Racing Club de France La Boulie, which seek to revalidate the title and make it a sextuple three weeks after their women’s team have got the “hat-trick” in Bulgaria.
