Edinburgh to Faro: Ryanair boosts weekly flights between UK and Portugal

The budget airline will fly an extra 14 services each week between the two countries in September and October.

Ryanair has announced plans today to increase the number of flights between Edinburgh and Faro as part of an effort to beef up its links with the tourist destination.

The airline will offer 14 more flights to the Portugese region every week from 12 UK airports between September 11 and October 24.

One more weekly flight will leave Edinburgh Airport, bringing the total number of Ryanair Faro flights from the city to four.

Ryanair has announced plans today to increase the number of flights between Edinburgh and Faro as part of an effort to beef up its links with the tourist destination.

The move comes after the decline in Covid-19 cases in Portugal, and the UK government’s decision to place the country on a list that holidaymakers can visit.

Other airports to see an increase in flights include: Glasgow Prestwick, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, East Midlands Airport, Liverpool, London Southend, Luton, Newcastle, and Stansted.

Ryanair’s Dara Brady said: “Ryanair is thrilled to strengthen the connection between the UK and sunny Faro over the coming weeks with 14 additional flights per week from 12 UK airports – making it easier than ever for UK holidaymakers to book that long awaited trip in the sun.

“To celebrate the UK’s decision to place Portugal on its ‘safe list’ of countries UK travellers can visit, we have extended our seat sale on flights to Portugal in September and October, with fares as low as £19.99 one way.

“To avail of these great fares customers must be quick and visit the Ryanair.com website to book their trip before midnight, Thursday, 27th August to avoid missing out.”
