Ryanair said it welcomes the competition brought by Jet2's arrival at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Jet2 announced last month that it will begin flying from Liverpool in March 2024. Its first summer season will fly to 20 destinations, including seven new routes from the city.
The news was celebrated by many Scousers, who previously have had to travel to Manchester to fly with Jet2. The airline will operate up to 54 weekly flights from Liverpool next summer, with 565,000 seats on sale for the season.
