Welcome Air France!

Great news for the french market as Air France is offering for the 1st time direct flights from Paris CDG. Route will begin on 5th of July until 29 of August with 4 weekly flights (Mo-We-Fr-Su). Also worth noting that Air France offers codeshares with greek carrier Sky Express which recently begun Athens-Rhodes flights with brand new airbus A320neo.

So, welcome Air France and we hope next season you will expand Paris for the whole season and why not offer flights from other french regional airports.

Ryanair opens base in July

 Good news for tourism as Ryanair announced the openning of a base in Rhodes during 2021 summer. A single aircraft will be based here from July 1st and will expand Ryanair's network from/to Rhodes significantly as it almost doubles it.

Here's a screenshot from airline's website with all destinations available to/from RHO.

So, in addition to 14 routes serving RHO from other bases, for 2021 summer Ryanair will be adding 13 more to a total of 27 of which 2 are domestic and the rest international.

Although many expected the revival of Athens-Rhodes flighs this didn't happen but Ryanair surprised us positively by adding twice weekly flights to Thessaloniki and Heraklion with both route pairs served for the first time by Ryanair. The former is served by Aegean/Olympic while the latter by Sky Express - both on a yearly and almost daily basis so Ryanair's addition hopefully will bring some competition.

International routes for 2021 will be 25 with some notable additions such as Tel Aviv, Warsaw and Marseilles - all three serve RHO big incoming markets and weren't served before by the irish low cost carrier. Other interesting additions are Dublin which gradually due to TUI has grown, Memmingen that also serves Munich which is a big market and finally the italian cities of Brindisi, Treviso/Venice, Naples and Rome/Ciampino. Routes that will be a questionmark are to/from Barcelona (Vueling failed some years ago), Pafos and Suceava which makes not much sense as the Romanian market is not so big and Bucharest would be a more rational choice to test the market. 

Anyways, we wish them all the luck and hope that in 2022 summer Ryanair will add even more aircrafts and routes.
