Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline today, Wednesday 1st December, are delighted to announce a major expansion from Ireland West Airport Knock as they announce the introduction of three new routes to the Canary Islands. Starting in February 2011 Ryanair will operate weekly flights from Ireland West Airport Knock to the hugely popular sun holiday destinations of Gran Canaria and Tenerife with flights to Lanzarote starting in April 2011.
All three services will operate on a year round basis. The new routes bring to six the number of scheduled European services from Ireland West Airport Knock following the introduction of the hugely successful services to Alicante, Faro-Algarve and Reus-Barcelona which commenced last March and May respectively.. The addition of these new services will compliment Ryanair’s existing network of routes at Ireland West Knock which includes daily scheduled services to Liverpool, London Luton and London Stansted airports in addition to the four-times-a-week services to East Midlands and the three times a week services to Bristol and Leeds Bradford. It is expected that this latest expansion by Ryanair at Ireland West Knock will generate an estimated 35,000 additional annual passengers at the Airport.
Welcoming today’s announcement, Joe Gilmore, Managing Director, Ireland West Airport Knock said: “We are delighted to welcome this major expansion by Ryanair from Ireland West Knock which represents a hugely significant milestone in the Airport’s development as we expand our schedule services to now include the hugely popular Canary Islands. Ryanairs continued growth from Ireland West Knock is further great news for passengers and we are sure the new, year round, services to Lanzarote, Tenerife and Gran Canaria will prove hugely popular with holidaymakers in the West, North West and Midlands regions of Ireland and beyond who can soak up some winter and summer sun at great low prices.
