On Thursday (October 14, 2021), Ryanair announced the launch of two new routes for the winter 2021/22 season. First, the carrier announced the start of new service between Derry and Manchester with three weekly flights. To celebrate the launch of the route, Ryanair has launched a seat sale from only £19.99 for travel through March 2022. To qualify for the low introductory fares, tickets must be purchased by midnight on Friday, October 15, 2021 on the airline’s website.


In Thursday’s route announcement, Ryanair’s Director of Commercial, Jason McGuinness, said,


“As Europe’s No.1 airline, Ryanair remains committed to re-building Europe’s aviation and tourism industry by restoring connectivity and growing its network of passengers to over 225 million by 2026. As Ryanair takes delivery of 55 additional Boeing 737-8200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft this winter, we are delighted to add this new route from Derry to Manchester.


“As consumer confidence in air travel steadily restores, Ryanair is once again calling on the UK Government to scrap or suspend APD (Air Passenger Duty) to allow airlines to quickly recover connectivity, jobs and tourism in the aftermath of the pandemic. APD makes UK airports very uncompetitive compared to those in Europe, where Ryanair continues to add capacity having opened several new bases in recent months, including Agadir, Zagreb, Billund, Stockholm, Riga and Turin. While Ryanair is committed to the UK and to Derry airport, the lack of Government support continues to create barriers to boosting traffic and growth.”


In a separate press release today, Ryanair further announced the launch of new twice-weekly service between Leeds-Bradford and Poznan for the winter 2021/22 season. To celebrate the new route, Ryanair is offering tickets from only £19.99 through midnight on Saturday October 16, 2021, for travel through March 2022.
