First new route of 2017 announced at Liverpool John Lennon Airport

Ryanair has revealed plans to expand its services at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) this year with a new European route.

For its Winter 2017/18 flying programme, the Irish airline will connect North West holidaymakers with Milan-Malpensa Airport in Italy.

Flights will commence in October and operate three times weekly.

The director of air service development at LJLA, Paul Winfield, said: “It’s great to be able to celebrate our first new route announcement of the year so early into 2017 and for another airport in Italy to become linked with Liverpool later this year.

“We expect this flight to Milan Malpensa to prove popular with the region’s travellers looking to travel to this part of Italy and also look forward to welcoming visitors to the Liverpool City Region from Italy on this service too.”

Robin Kiely of Ryanair commented: “Ryanair is pleased to announce a new route from Liverpool to Milan Malpensa, with a three-times weekly service starting in October, as part of our Liverpool winter 2017 service, which will be launched soon.

“Liverpool customers and visitors can look forward to even lower fares when they make advance bookings for their summer or winter holidays, so there’s never been a better time to book low fare flight to or from Liverpool.”
