Two more Liverpool routes for Ryanair
Ryanair have added two more routes from Liverpool Airport. From 22 February 2006 they will fly to Porto in Portugal and Seville in Spain. At launch the tickets can be found from £6.99 each way, plus taxes and charges.
Karl Hogstadius, Ryanair's Sales Manager in Liverpool today said:
"Today's two new routes to Porto and Seville bring the total number of routes at Liverpool to twenty. Ryanair launched its Liverpool base in November 2004 and passengers and visitors to Merseyside have voted with their feet, choosing Ryanair's low fares and No.1 punctuality over Easyjet's high fares.
"In the next twelve months Ryanair will carry 2.4m passengers to and from Liverpool, more than any other airline, sustaining 2,400 jobs."
Ryanair has flown flights to Dublin from Liverpool for many years, but have only used it as a hub for a year. Prior to that easyJet was the main airline operating from Liverpool. With these extra routes, Ryanair are predicting they will overtake easyJet in passengers numbers flown from the airport.
