Ryanair launches new Polish service from JLA

RYANAIR has launched a new route from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (JLA) to a city in northern Poland.

It takes the number of Polish destinations from the airport to nine, matching London Stansted as the biggest provider of flights to the country in the UK.

The low cost operator will start a twice-weekly service to Szczecin, the country’s largest sea port, in May.

Ryanair said there has been a resurgence in the Polish market and Liverpool now has twice as many flights and seats available than any other UK airport outside London.

Robin Tudor, head of public relations for JLA owner Peel Airports Group, said: “Liverpool is now by far the market leader when it comes to services to Poland outside of London, with more departures, more capacity and more destinations available to Poland than any other airport outside of the South East.

“Whilst many airports continue to see a decline in business, Ryanair’s decision to continue to explore new opportunities from here, reflects airline confidence in Liverpool.”
