City of Derry Airport Route Update

1st December 2005

A spokesperson for the City of Derry airport confirmed that it had received notification today, 1st December, that the British Airways Service from Manchester ~ City of Derry will cease it’s operation from the 9th of January.

“ We are obviously disappointed to see the disappearance of yet another full service route from the Northern Ireland market place, however we accept the commercial reasons for the decision. This route has been under pressure from other low cost airlines for the past two years and we had already begun discussions with a low cost operator for this route.”

The spokesperson continued,

“In the interim, we would like to take this opportunity to advise customers wishing to travel to this area that Ryanair will commence a new low cost daily service to Liverpool from 9th February.”
