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

I read the below as an extension to existing dates of operation, as even the New Routes are defined as Summer Routes

"...From April, Ryanair will open a base in Corfu and deliver:

1 based aircraft ($100m)
11 new routes
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.

11 New Corfu Summer 2016 Routes

Routes                               Frequencies
Birmingham                        2 x weekly
Bratislava                           1 x weekly
Budapest                            1 x weekly

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!

Isn't Athens airport German run? A serious, not sarcastic comment.
