AIRLINE Ryanair is planning to open up new routes next winter to Germany.

From the start of November, 2016, new daily winter routes will operate out of Manchester Airport to Berlin, Hamburg and Nuremberg.

Manchester Airport’s managing director, Ken O’Toole said: "It is hugely positive to see Ryanair expanding its offering from Manchester Airport. Nuremberg is an important business destination for the region and it is pleasing to be able to support companies who operate in that part of the world - or are looking to do so in the future - with a new direct service."
