Ryanair hits 10-year milestone at Liverpool

RYANAIR is celebrating the 10th year of basing its aircraft at Liverpool John Lennon Airpot.

The low cost airline has more than 24 million customers in and out of Liverpool since its first flight to Liverpool took off.

Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said the new summer schedule would include 29 routes in total and more flights to Dublin, delivering 1.8 million customers per year and supporting 1,350 on site jobs at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

He said: “Our customers can look forward to further improvements in the coming months, including our personalised website, with exciting new digital features such as ‘hold the fare’ and real customer destination reviews, under our ‘Always Getting Better’ programme, as we continue to offer so much more than just lowest fares.

As part of the celebration the company is releasing 100,000 seats for sale across its European network at fares starting from just £19.99.

Robin Tudor, head of PR at the Airport added: “It only seems like yesterday that Ryanair made Liverpool one of their major UK bases and over the past 10 years they have given passengers from across the region the opportunity to fly to a fantastic range of destinations and at some of the lowest fares, all with the added convenience and hassle free benefits of flying from Liverpool.£

Ryanair’s continued commitment to Liverpool will mean another busy summer here next year and we look forward to working with Ryanair over the next 10 years.”

Steven Small, head of tourism at Marketing Liverpool, said, “Although Ryanair have been operating into Liverpool for almost 30 years, the decision to base aircraft here a decade ago was a massive milestone for the airport and given the positive impact on our visitor economy over that time it’s an achievement definitely worth celebrating.”
