New destinations include Asturias, Castellon, Kos, Zakynthos, Stockholm, Genoa and Leipzig. 

 
With 14 extra routes compared to last summer, Ryanair will operate more than 2,000 weekly flights to and from Dublin this year, connecting 130 destinations across 27 countries.

The carrier will offer 14 flights per week to Venice; six per week to Newquay, Burgas and Stockholm; four per week to Asturias, Brindisi, Castellon, Trieste, Genoa, Cluj, Iasi, Leipzig and Kos; and two per week to Zakynthos.

However, Ryanair said it will "inevitably" have to locate future aircraft and expand routes elsewhere in Europe due to charges rising by up to 45% at Dublin airport. 

"Dublin airport needs to remain competitive vs other European airports, with low cost, efficient facilities and services to support the Irish economy which is highly dependent on low cost air access," the carrier said.
