Ireland West Airport were delighted to celebrate Ryanair’s 1 millionth passenger on Liverpool route. Francesca Allsopp and her son Emilio, from Chesterfield in the UK were the lucky recipients of a pair of return flights from Liverpool to Ireland West Airport, and a bottle of champagne to mark the passenger milestone.
Ryanair has been operating the Liverpool service for almost 16 years having commenced flights back in October 2008 and the service has gone from strength to strength with the airline now operating daily flights all year round.
Ireland West Airport Managing Director, Joe Gilmore said “We are delighted to mark yet another significant milestone in the airport’s history celebrating Ryanair’s 1 millionth passenger using their hugely popular Liverpool service. It’s hard to believe it’s 16 years since the service commenced. There is an immensely strong tie between our region and the Liverpool/Merseyside catchment given historical immigration patterns and there are very strong links connecting family, friends and the diaspora communities in both regions. I’d like to thank Ryanair’s customers and in particular, the Ryanair staff here at the airport, who continue to play a very important role in helping the airport and Ryanair reach passenger milestones such as this and ensure the experience using the airport continues to be both a seamless and enjoyable one.”
