Thank heavens for Ryanair

How nice to see that Ryanair have added extra routes to Corfu for next summer. It wasn't long ago that we were happy that Easyjet were sending us a couple of flights a week from Gatwick, now they have expanded their routes but Ryanair is rushing ahead with more regional airports from the UK (Luton, Leeds Bradford, East Midlands and Glasgow). They also now offer Gothenburg, Oslo and Billund for Scandinavian visitors who until recently have only had a once weekly Norwegian flight, and apart from that have been fairly dependent upon a small amount of expensive charter seats.

One of the reasons many people were dubious about buying property in Corfu used to be that in the winter we are dependent upon flights via Athens, which are both time consuming and generally more expensive than direct flights. Even that is now less important with Ryanair continuing flights until the end of November this year and beginning again in early March - maybe one year we will actually get a year round flight, but at least this helps.
