Ireland West Airport has welcomed the announcement by Ryanair of a new year round service to Birmingham to commence in March 2022.
The service will initially operate twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and operate on a year round basis.This new service will provide a major boost for the airport and the region as it restores a critically important service between the West of Ireland and Birmingham.
The opening of this new route reinforces Ryanair’s commitment to Ireland West Airport and the rebuilding of the airport's route network whilst playing a key role in the recovery of local jobs and the economy.
This is the third new route to be announced by Ryanair from the airport in 2021 following the commencement of new services to Edinburgh and Manchester in September. In addition, their services to Malaga and Milan will operate through the winter in 2021/22 for the first time.
To celebrate this new S’22 route, Ryanair launched a seat sale this week with fares available from just €19.99 for travel until the end of Oct ’22.
Ryanair’s Director of Commercial, Jason McGuinness, said they are pleased to add this new route to Birmingham as part of Ireland’s S’22 schedule, offering our customers yet another amazing European destination to choose from when planning their summer break.
"Having added over 560 new routes and opened 16 bases throughout the last 12 months, Ryanair is now looking ahead to S’22 and the addition of 65 new B737-8200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft to its fleet, which offer 4% more seats, 16% less fuel and a 40% reduction in noise emissions, making Ryanair’s S’22 schedule the most exciting and environmentally friendly to date," he said.
