Ryanair is adding a route from Dublin to Sofia from 30 October 2016. To mark the opening of its new base at Sofia, the budget airline is offering tickets priced from €20 until this Saturday, April 2.

The Sofia base will be serviced by three planes serving 21 routes out of the city, and will provide over 90 flights a week to 21 centres in Europe.

The airline said the Sofia base will create or support 1,100 jobs and serve a possible 1.5 million customers every year. David O’Brien of Ryanair said: “This growth is an integral part of our continued expansion plans for both Bulgaria and Eastern Europe, as we connect Sofia with Europe’s key centres of business, including Berlin, Brussels, Dublin, London, Madrid and Milan.”
