Low-cost airline Ryanair will be adding Athens to the list of destinations that travellers will be able to reach by air from Bratislava come the summer of 2015, the TASR news agency learnt on Tuesday. There will be three flights to the Greek capital per week, said spokesperson for Bratislava's M.R. Štefánik Airport Veronika Ševčíková. In all, the no-frills air carrier will operate 17 routes out of Bratislava and serve an estimated one million passengers per year. Ryanair recently announced that it will set up a base in Bratislava in March and add a new service to Madrid.
