     Starting in March 2017, Ryanair will add four routes out of Frankfurt Airport, Alicante, Faro, Malaga, and Palma.
     Ryanair also said it will double its operations at Hamburg Airport for the 2016/2017 winter timetable, adding seven destinations including: Sofia Brussels, Dublin, Gran Canaria, London Stansted, Manchester, and Milan Bergamo.
     “We are delighted by Ryanair’s growing commitment to Hamburg Airport,” said Michael Eggenschwiler, CEO of Hamburg Airport.
