Ryanair launches new routes from Liverpool

Ryanair has announced that it will launch four new routes from Liverpool - to Gdansk, Scezecin, Knock and Faro - at the end of October this year. This latest expansion brings the number of routes at Ryanair's Liverpool base to forty-five. Passengers can now access a wide variety of European destinations from Liverpool such as Derry, Madrid, Pisa and Nimes.

Speaking today, Ryanair's Bridget Dowling said: "This latest route expansion means that passengers in the north-west can now enjoy an even greater choice of low fare destinations. These four new routes which go on sale today will mean an extra 210,000 passengers per annum travelling to and from Liverpool, sustaining an additional 210 jobs.

"The announcement of these new routes to Poland, Ireland and Portugal proves that Ryanair is committed to delivering the lowest fares guaranteed and no fuel surcharges ever on all its routes.

"To celebrate, we are offering seats on all four new destinations from £31. We urge passengers to log on to Ryanair.com today to book their flights as seats to these fantastic new destinations will be snapped up."

Neil Pakey, Deputy CEO of the Peel Airports Group, commented: "Ryanair's base at Liverpool goes from strength to strength and these four new routes are a welcome addition to its comprehensive range of destinations from here.

"Further routes serving Poland and Ireland will undoubtedly bring more visitors to Liverpool and the north-west which has important benefits for the local economy."
