Liverpool launches for Ryanair
Mon, 05 Nov, 2007
Budget airline Ryanair has expanded its services from Liverpool Airport by launching eight new routes.
Among the new flights are services to four European capital cities - Budapest, Stockholm, Madrid and Belfast.
The other services fly to holiday hotspots Tenerife and Fuerteventura, and the Polish cities of Lodz and Bydgoszcz.
Liverpool Airport's general manager of government and corporate affairs Robin Tudor predicted the new routes would prove popular with the north-west's holidaymakers.
"As the winter draws nearer this is the ideal time to escape to Spain or the Canary Islands for some winter sun or enjoy the Christmas Markets in Budapest and Stockholm," said Mr Tudor.
Rival low-cost carrier easyJet recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of its first flight from Liverpool Airport.
It now flies to 19 destinations from Merseyside and will increase that total by two in the coming months when it commences services to the Portuguese capital Lisbon and the Austrian city of Innsbruck.
