Ryanair has praised Liverpool's "great variety" as the airline expands its operations at John Lennon Airport.
The airline will increase its capacity to more than 255 weekly flights from Liverpool this summer - a 15% increase from 2022. It will base a new plane at the airport, creating 30 jobs for pilots and cabin crew, in order to support the expanded scope.
The new aircraft is part of $100m extra investment at John Lennon Airport from the Irish budget airline. This will take its overall investment at the airport to $400m.
