Ryanair adds Liverpool?Szczecin service
Ryanair has announced a new route from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (JLA) to Szczecin in northeast Poland, with a twice weekly service starting on 21 May 2010.
Szczecin is Poland’s seventh largest city and the country’s largest sea port, on the Baltic Sea. The new route brings the number of destinations in Poland served by Ryanair from Liverpool to seven.
Robin Tudor, head of PR for the Peel Airports Group – JLA’s owner – commented, “Liverpool is now by far the market leader when it comes to services to Poland outside of London, with more departures, more capacity and more destinations available to Poland than any other airport outside of the south east. Whilst many airports continue to see a decline in business, Ryanair’s decision to continue to explore new opportunities from here, reflects airline confidence in Liverpool.”
