Ryanair Releases Three Million £10 Seats, Challenges Easyjet

Europe’s largest low fares airline Ryanair has announced three million £10 seats (taxes and charges included) for travel in July, August and September.

The airline has “challenged Easyjet to step up to the plate by offering passengers a real price guarantee instead of the misleading “non guarantee” it has been peddling for the last two weeks,” a source close to Ryanair was quoted as saying.

“Today Ryanair is releasing three million summer seats for £10 –less than a quarter of Easyjet’s average fare. Easyjet can’t match Ryanair’s low fares and that is why it is hiding behind its bogus guarantee,” said Michael O’Leary, Ryanair’s CEO.

According to The Independent, the chief executive of the Irish low-cost airline, dismissed concerns that the promotion suggested that the company was struggling to sell seats over the crucial summer period, arguing that bookings for July and August are already ahead of expectations.
