Ryanair, Europe’s No. 1 low fares airline today (5th April) launched its new route from City of Derry airport to Nottingham East Midlands.

Speaking today, Ryanair’s Communications Executive Lorna Farren said:

“ We are delighted to launch this new route connecting the City of Derry with Nottingham and the East Midlands region. February marked the start of Ryanair’s services to Liverpool and we now connect Derry with three of the UK’s top cities.

“This year we look forward to delivering 400,000 passengers to the North West region and supporting 400 jobs in the area.

“Flights are on sale from just £0.49 on www.ryanair.com until Thursday 13th April, so we urge passengers to book immediately, as flights this cheap will sell out fast.”

Welcoming the new route, the Mayor of Derry, Cllr Lynn Fleming said it presented significant opportunities for onward and inbound tourism travel and was more good news for the City of Derry Airport just weeks after the Liverpool route commenced.

“I am delighted that the airport has once again secured another new direct route. This service will greatly boost business and tourism opportunities to and from the region. I wish the service every success and look forward to improving tourism and business opportunities for the North West.”
