Ryanair in UK regional expansion
Ryanair is adding new flights from Liverpool and East Midlands this winter.
Four new routes will be served from Liverpool from October, to Gdansk, Scezecin, Knock and Faro, bringing the airline’s network up to 45 from the Merseyside airport.
Three new routes from East Midlands, to Faro, Fuerteventura and Prague, will bring the number of destinations served by the airline up to 38.
Tickets on the four new Liverpool services have been put on sale for a lead-in £31 while the new East Midlands flights start at £26.
Ryanair’s Bridget Dowling said the four new routes from Liverpool will mean an extra 210,000 passengers a year travelling to and from Liverpool, sustaining an additional 210 jobs.
Moving onto East Midlands, she said: “With services to Faro and Fuerteventura running three times a week and the Prague route operating four times a week, passengers in the East Midlands area can now enjoy an even greater choice of low fare destinations.
“These three new routes which go on sale today will mean an extra 140,000 passengers travelling to and from East Midlands every year, sustaining an additional 140 jobs.â€
