Jobs boost with new ryanair routes

Up to 2,000 new jobs could be created after Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary announced a raft of new routes from Manchester Airport.

Mr O'Leary said 20 new routes will be added to the existing six operated from Manchester, to be opened by summer 2012 and delivering up to two million passengers a year.

New routes from the Irish air carrier include flights to Barcelona, Brussels, Ibiza, Rome, Paris and Milan.

Starting from October two new aircraft will be based at the airport, bringing 250 new jobs immediately, expanding to four new Planes and 26 routes by 2012.
