On Monday (December 13, 2021), Ryanair announced the launch of new twice-weekly service between Knock and Birmingham, as part of the airline’s commitment to rebuilding Ireland’s tourism industry. To celebrate the launch of the new route, the carrier has launched a seat sale with fares from only €19.99 for travel through October 2022. To qualify for the low introductory fares, tickets must be purchased on the airline’s website before midnight on Wednesday, December 15, 2021.

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

“We are pleased to add this new route to Birmingham as part of Ireland’s S’22 schedule, offering our customers yet another amazing European destination to choose from when planning their summer break. Having added over 560 new routes and opened 16 bases throughout the last 12 months, Ryanair is now looking ahead to S’22 and the addition of 65 new B737-8200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft to its fleet, which offer 4% more seats, 16% less fuel and a 40% reduction in noise emissions, making Ryanair’s S’22 schedule the most exciting and environmentally friendly to date.

“To celebrate, we have launched a seat sale with fares from just €19.99 for travel until the end of Oct ‘22, which must be booked by midnight Wednesday, 15th December. With air fares likely to increase in S’22 due to reduced capacity, we encourage all customers to book early and scoop up these lower fares on Ryanair.com.”
