Ryanair adds new Norway connection
April 30, 2009 Ryanair is to begin operating a brand new summer connection between Edinburgh Airport and the Norwegian city of Haugesund, the BBC reports.
The low-cost carrier will start the new service this July, boosting its overall number of links from the Scottish capital to 29 – up from seven a year ago.
Alongside the new twice-weekly connection, Ryanair will also increase the frequency of its Edinburgh flights to the German port city of Bremen.
Welcoming the expanded timetable, Gordon Dewar, the airport's managing director, said: "It is a huge vote of confidence in the Edinburgh market and a real demonstration of the airline's commitment to the Scottish capital."
Haugesund is situated on the west coast of Norway, and is best known for hosting several music festivals as well as the Norwegian International Film festival.
