Ryanair adds a new route from UK airport for first time as it gears up for 2024 schedule

Flights will go between Derry and Birmingham twice a week for the first time.

Holidaymakers will be able to take these flights from April this year.

Managing director at City of Derry Airport Steve Frazer said: “We are thrilled to expand our route map with Ryanair and provide a much-needed service for our local catchment area across Derry City and Strabane, the Causeway Coast and Glens, Donegal and beyond."

Ryanair has shared its summer 2024 schedule where Britons can pick from 37 million seats available from the UK.

New routes will run from the end of March to popular city breaks and less well-known destinations across Europe.

Flights can be pre-booked now for anyone planning ahead for the summer.

Ryanair’s head of communications Jade Kirwan said: "Ryanair is pleased to announce our summer 2024 schedule with over 37 million seats available for our UK customers across a host of amazing destinations.

"So, if you’re looking to soak up some well-deserved sun this summer, you won’t be disappointed with the unbeatable selection of destinations we have on offer at the lowest fares in Europe.

"Customers should visit ryanair.com now and book early to make sure they secure the best possible price – future you will thank you for it.”
