This comes as Ryanair adds a new route going from a UK airport for the first time.

Britons will be able to travel from Birmingham Airport to Derry twice a week.

The flights will start to take place from April this year.

Its summer schedule will kick off within months with flights to more popular holiday destinations that ever before.
