Could this mean there will be an all-year-round Ryanair service from Corfu to all these destinations, including the UK?

21 routes in total
More flights to Brussels (1 to 2 weekly), East Midlands (1 to 2), London Stansted (4 to 5) & Milan B (4 to 5)
300,000 customers p.a. (+150,000)
225* “on site” jobs p.a.

Sixteen more flights a week - should make Corfu airport even more serene and spacious than it already is!  ;)

Well it may end up "improved" because of the new German users. Tcould soon bring it into line, making us all stand in very straight orderly line, looking straight ahead andpossibly having to genuflect to a photo of Fuerer Mercel!
