|
CITY of Derry Airport's
first scheduled international flight was launched
yesterday as Ryanair added Alicante in Spain to its
direct flight timetable. |
The service will start
on March 30, 2009 and will bring wider holiday
choice to the region this Summer. Derry Mayor
Councillor Gerard Diver welcomed the new route.
"A direct scheduled international flight is a long
standing ambition for the city and region and
today's announcement will create more choice and
greater convenience for passengers. It is a positive
way forward for City of Derry Airport," he said.
Alicante is a Mediterranean sun destination perfect
for spring or summer breaks and is known for its
beaches, water sports and golf. |

Airport committee
chairperson, Alderman Joe Miller said the new flight
would offer "more value and choice for everyone in
the region".
"It's our first scheduled international flight for
City of Derry Airport and a confident statement of
the opportunities that exist for the airport and the
region," said Mr Miller. City of Derry Airport also
provides direct services to Glasgow Prestwick,
Birmingham, London Stansted, London Luton, Liverpool
and Dublin. It also provides Summer charter flights
to Majorca and Salou. |
