Ryanair is set to open a two aircraft base in Copenhagen, Denmark from December.

The airline said the move will create up to 100 direct jobs for pilots, cabin crew and engineers, in a $200m new aircraft investment.

“All 100 jobs for pilots, cabin crew and engineers will be recruited under the national CLA Ryanair has agreed with Danske Metal, Denmark’s largest national union, and Ryanair looks froward to continued growth and investment in Denmark as soon as the Danish Regulator makes a decision to lower airport fees at Copenhagen Airport,” said Ryanair’s Group CEO Michael O’Leary.

Ryanair already operates 20 routes and carries 2.3 million passengers to and from Copenhagen.

Copenhagen will become Ryanair’s second Danish base in addition to Billund.

Ryanair’s winter 2023 schedule to and from Copenhagen offers 24 routes, with four new destinations to Dusseldorf, Faro, Paris and Warsaw, and increased frequencies to Gdansk and Krakow.
