14 million Ryanair passengers in Gdansk

The 14 millionth passenger turned out to be Mr. Mateusz Szulc, a passenger on a flight from Barcelona. He arrived from a short holiday in a Spanish resort. He lives and works in Bydgoszcz. As he admitted, the flight to Barcelona was his and his girlfriend's first holiday for five years. They will be able to fly on the next one soon. The 14 millionth passenger received tickets from Ryanair for two people to fly from Gdansk in any direction operated by that airline. Gdansk Airport handed over an invitation to the VIP Lounge, which the passenger will be able to use before his journey, as well as the airport gadgets.

This is a special moment for us and we are extremely pleased that already 14 million Ryanair passengers have used Gdansk Airport.

Ryanair is a very important partner for Gdansk Airport, and we are looking forward to more and more fruitful cooperation" - said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport.
