The low-cost carrier announced on Thursday (27 April) the new aircraft will bring a 40% reduction in noise and a 16% reduction in carbon emissions, all while carrying 4% more passengers per flight.
Chief executive Eddie Wilson said the decision to allocate the new aircraft to Luton would support the airport’s strategy to deliver sustainable growth while reaching net-zero by 2040.
“This significant investment at Luton airport forms part of a longer-term strategy between Ryanair and the airport’s management team to deliver sustainable growth at LLA,” said Wilson.
Ryanair is set to operate more than 140 weekly flights across 27 new destinations to and from the airport this summer, including Bologna, Malta and Seville.
