John Lennon Airport Increases Destinations

RYANAIR announced today that Liverpool John Lennon Airport will feature in their latest expansion plans, with the commencement of a daily service to Rome early next year.

This latest addition to the growing list of major European cities now served from Liverpool, delivers the Airport’s strategy to develop routes from key European cities ahead of the Capital of Culture celebrations in 2008. 

The Airport has already been successful in attracting links to Germany, with daily scheduled flights to Berlin, Cologne and Basle having begun earlier this year.

Management at John Lennon Airport now sees Italy as the next big market yet to be ‘tapped into’ from Liverpool.

This will be the first time that the Airport has featured services to Italy and is confident that the route will prove extremely popular for both the leisure and tourism markets. 

The daily service will commence on 28 January 2005, with flights to Rome’s Ciampino Airport and fares starting from as little as £14.99 one-way, including taxes.

Neil Pakey, Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s Managing Director commented:- “There is a clear demand for low cost services from the North West to the Italian capital and I am confident that the business and leisure markets for both inbound and outbound passengers will find Ryanair’s low fares particularly attractive.”

Cathy Timlin, Ryanair’s Sales Manager, Scotland and UK added:- ”Ryanair is delighted to announce our first direct daily low fares route to Italy from Liverpool John Lennon Airport. This new route to Rome will carry over 100,000 passengers per annum, representing a further boost to the local tourist trade and consumers will save in excess of £10m with Ryanair's low fares.”
