Ryanair presses ahead with German expansion with Duesseldorf base
Ryanair announced plans Thursday to open a base at Duesseldorf’s main airport in its latest expansion into its key target market of Germany in the wake of the collapse of rival Air Berlin.

The move is the latest challenge by Ryanair to Lufthansa, which last year overtook the carrier as Europe’s largest by passenger numbers.<br/>
