Flights to Shannon return for Liverpool JLA

Flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) to Shannon in the west of Ireland returned this weekend with the first departure of Ryanair’s latest route from Liverpool on Saturday evening.

This is Ryanair’s fourth Irish service from Liverpool, in addition to Dublin (4 daily), Cork (4 weekly) and Knock (5 weekly).

Robin Tudor, head of PR for Liverpool John Lennon Airport, said: “This latest addition to Ryanair’s growing network of routes from Liverpool brings a welcome return of flights to Shannon linking Liverpool to this part of Ireland once again, with passengers from across the North West able to take advantage of a faster, easier, friendlier start to their journey by flying direct from Liverpool.”

Robin Kiely, head of communications for Ryanair, said: “We’re pleased to officially launch our Liverpool to Shannon service, as part of our exciting Summer 2018 schedule.”
