(ANSA) - Rome, August 17 - Ryaniar's new Italy growth plan with 44 new routes, one billion dollars in investments and three million new passengers will generate 2,250 jobs at Italian airports, CEO Michael O'Leary said in presenting the plan with Transport Minister Graziano Delrio and the head of the Italian civil aviation authority ENAC, Vito Riggio. "I thank the Renzi government and the work of minister Delrio," O'Leary said. "Without their work all this growth would have been lost.

"This excellent work, carried forward by Renzi and Delrio, enables regional airports to compete on a par with national ones," O'Leary went on, referring to the elimination of a hike in municipal tax and changes to airport guidelines.
