It is expected that the expansion of Ryanair at Ireland West Knock will generate an estimated 300,000 passengers at the Airport over the coming year.
Announcing the new route, Ryanair’s Communications Executive, Lorna Farren said: “Ryanair is delighted to announce our fourth route from Ireland West Knock, which will provide a further boost to tourism in the West and North West of Ireland, delivering over 60,000 passengers in its first year of operation. Ryanair has been in Ireland West Knock since it opened in 1986, and this new route confirms that we are committed to steady growth at the Airport.”
Annette Kearney, Marketing and Communications Manager at Ireland West Airport Knock said: “The addition of this direct route to Bristol with Ryanair is another significant step in achieving our Airport’s goal of providing an expanded network of scheduled jet flight services to key UK destinations. We are most mindful that our award-winning Airport continues to provide an ever-widening choice of great value, direct and convenient flights to our customers both in Ireland and in the UK.”
