One-way fares currently range from £68.99 to £105.99 with no extras, such as seats or luggage.

Chris Tibbett, aero director for AGS Airports, said: “This new route to Krakow is a fantastic addition to our network, and we are delighted that Ryanair has responded to passenger demand by introducing this service.

“Krakow is one of Europe’s most popular city destinations, known for its rich history and vibrant culture. This is great news for our passengers it highlights Ryanair’s commitment to offering expanded options from Aberdeen.”

Ryanair launching Aberdeen to Krakow route

Passengers are currently able to fly to Gdansk in Poland, about 370 miles north of Krakow, directly from Aberdeen.

The Wizz Air two-hour route departs from the Granite City four times a week.

The addition of the Krakow service next year will give passengers more opportunities to visit the European country and provide a shorter journey to the capital of Warsaw.

Ramsay World Travel, based on Crown Street, and Hays Travel, which has branches in the Bon Accord Centre and at Berryden Retail Park, have also launched holidays with the new flights.

Both travel agents are advertising package deals, including accommodation and transfers as well as excursions.

On Wednesday, it was announced Aberdeen Airport had been sold as part of a £1.53 billion sale.

Its new owner said it was committed to making sure the airport reached “its full potential” which includes looking to expand routes.
