Ryanair plans to add flights to further sunspots next summer as air travel gears up for further recovery in 2023.

The airline said on Thursday that it would fly to the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean and Brindisi on Italy’s Adriatic coast from Dublin over the summer. Ryanair will fly twice weekly to both destinations, with Kos taking off in May and Brindisi in June, until September.

The announcement follows news earlier this week that the carrier would add a service to Porto in Portugal from Shannon over the summer, beginning in April.

Eddie Wilson, Ryanair DAC chief executive, said the airline was bringing more choice and value to Irish customers with the extra routes from Dublin.
