Ryanair to retain London/Kerry evening flight

Ryanair has confirmed the retention of evening flights on its London/Kerry route, at weekends.

Emigrants and regular users of the service had complained about plans by the budget airline to bring forward the Friday departure time from Stansted from 7.30pm to 12 noon, which could force travellers to take a day off work to avail of the flight. The change was due to come into effect from Nov 8.

The Kerry London Association sought a reversal of the decision, saying it would inconvenience hundreds of workers from Kerry, north Cork and Limerick who regularly use the service.
