Ryanair continues to invest in Italy ahead of the summer of 2021, which it hopes will revive the tourism industry in Europe and around the world. L'Falcone-Borsellino airport will be at the center of the project, as evidenced by the recent announcement by the Irish low-cost airline, which is poised to enhance its flight schedule with as many as 40 destinations. These include space for six new additions.

Summer offer
The vaccination process is continuing, and more and more bookings are expected in the coming months. The United Kingdom has already set a good example in this regard. The statistics are set to improve week by week, and Ryanair knows this well.
However, the fear of having one's flights canceled, as was the case in 2020, has not disappeared entirely. For this reason, a new offer has been launched. All passengers will be able to purchase their tickets by taking advantage of "Zero Flight Change Supplement".
The company allows people to change their flight plans until October 31, 2021, without having to pay any additional fees. It will only be necessary to meet any difference in fares from the originally purchased flight. An offer that applies to all bookings made between June 10, 2020 and June 30, 2021.
