Ryanair’s new Knock routes ‘will result in 100 jobs’

RYANAIR says that the opening up of four routes out of Ireland West Airport in Knock will create around 100 jobs in Mayo.

Chief executive Michael O’Leary said that the new routes to Barcelona (Girona), Frankfurt (Hahn), Milan (Bergamo) and Paris (Beauvais) will result in around 100,000 passengers being carried each year.

“These routes will see Knock and the west of Ireland connected to four major markets in Paris, Frankfurt, Barcelona and Milan. We will be bringing people from these areas into the west of Ireland.
