Ryanair has announced it will launch a daily Manchester to Shannon route from October.
The new route is part of an extended winter 2014 schedule, which includes four new routes to Barcelona, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lisbon and extra frequencies to Madrid, Riga and Rome.
Ryanair will also launch a once-weekly flight from Shannon to Kaunas, Lithuania in October.
Shannon Airport’s CEO Neil Pakey, said: “We welcome this further commitment by Ryanair to our upcoming winter schedule, which includes an excellent mix of inbound and outbound opportunities for passengers.
“We are currently in the middle of a very busy summer season, which has led to a 15% overall increase in passenger numbers in the first six months of the year. Having extra capacity this winter very much strengthens our hand for the off-peak season,” he said.
