DUBLIN, Aug 15 (Reuters) Irish budget airline Ryanair said on Wednesday it would create an extra million passengers a year at its Dublin base by adding new routes and planes and more flights.

''With these new routes and additional flights, Ryanair expects to carry a record 10 million passengers through Dublin airport in 2008,'' Deputy Chief Executive Michael Cawley said.

Ryanair said it would deploy two additional new Boeing 737-800 aircraft worth 0 million at list prices.

The airline had 171 of the planes on back order as of the end of May.
