Ryanair have announced today that they will begin operating 5 new routes - 4 from Stansted and 1 from Luton:
Stansted - Balaton (Hungary)
Stansted - Lamezia (Italy)
Stansted - Parma (Italy)
Stansted - Vitoria (Spain)
Luton - Brest (France)

They will commence operation from 17th Feb - 31st March next year, and bring FR at Stansted up to 90 routes, and 12 at Luton.

I was in Hungary this year and Ryanair's new route will prove popular I'm sure as currently Budapest is the only major airport and Lake Balaton is a popular tourist spot. Good to see them growing at Stansted again!

Are they not calling Ballaton, Budapest-Ballaton? If there is only a few hundred miles between the two, it won't be a problem.

And yes, excellent news for STN. 90 routes, that's a pretty damn large amount. How many routes do BA serve from LHR?

:confused: Unbelievably, it was a serious question. To most, Ballaton is going to mean nothing. Perhaps putting the closest city name before the airport name will make some sense.

That's what Ryanair do, isn't it?

The area around Siofok / Lake Balaton is a pretty special destination in it's own right, and I'd highly recommend it. (Assuming that it is Balaton they are flying to and not actually somewhere else...).
