“The addition of this direct daily route from Liverpool to Ireland West Knock with Ryanair is another significant step in our Airport’s growth as we continue to provide an ever-widening choice of great value, direct and convenient jet flights to our customers both in the UK and in Ireland. This new route further expands our network of scheduled jet flight services from key UK destinations to the West and North West of Ireland . We look forward to welcoming visitors from Britain’s North West and I’m sure the Liverpool region will equally benefit from a boost of Irish leisure and business travelers, especially from the thousands of Liverpool FC and Everton supporters in our catchments!”
Speaking today, Ryanair’s Bridget Dowling said:
“Ryanair is committed to delivering the lowest fares guaranteed, and this new route to Liverpool means that passengers will have an additional link to the UK from the West of Ireland. The new service will operate on a daily basis from 27th October and will bring an additional 100,000 passengers p.a. through the airport. We’re confident that the new route to Liverpool will prove just as successful as our existing routes to Bristol, East Midlands, London (Luton) and London (Stansted).

I've read on polish board, that today (thursday) new route on Poznañ Airport will be anounce. www.theairdb.com said, that it might be Reus. It is described as "Available for short time". Does anybody knows what might it means? It's strange route as Poznan has Girona connection already...
Other information is, that Ryanair has cancelled many flights to Poland. As I've read at some polish aviation portal, this routes are no longer available at summer schedule:
£ódz - East Midlands, Liverpool, Shannon & Sztokholm (Skavsta);
Gdañsk - Bristol, Brussel (Charleroi) & Liverpool;
Katowice - Bristol;
Poznañ - East Midlands;
Szczecin - Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool & London (Luton);
Wroc³aw - Bournemouth

It is Reus-Poznan! Available for short time means that this is a summer route and will only be operated from April until October (summer schedule).

By the way, the Ryanair route map has been updated and you can now see orange routes (summer routes), blue routes (winter routes), red routes (routes for special events) and grey routes (all year round operated).

Thanks King, I just wanted to know :-)
Friends from Poznañ are very happy, bacause they have 3 weekly flights to Girona and Reus now as well. We have Girona and Alicante, but things would look better if Girona was 3 times weekly as well

About colours, some of them makes no sense for me. For example WRO-Alicante is described as all-year but most of us think it is some kind of charter-mix connection. Instead of that we have WRO-HHN as summer route which is taking a place more than one year now. And other thing - have a look on Fuernaventura - this island will be off in few days and how are those flights described? All year Chaotic little bit...
