Gievn my previous comments about Ryanair's activities, I'm not sure that this is good news or not.
However, Ryanair have today announced that they are to base 2 aircraft at Porto Airport as from 1st September, 2009.
They will increase the number of flights to Beauvais, 85km North-West of Paris to two per day.
The airline will also operate new routes from Porto to Basel, Eindhoven, St Etienne, France (61 km from Lyon) and Tours, France.
