BUSINESS: An official spokesperson from Derry City Airport, has eased fears Ryanair was going to withdraw its service from the Airport as a result of Brexit.
Ryanair CEO, Michael O’Leary was a vocal opponent of Brexit, and had campaigned for the UK to stay within the EU.
He expressed his disappointment at the UK’s decision to leave the EU.
Reports earlier in the week suggested Ryanair is to move growth away from UK airports in the wake of the vote to leave the EU, and if that happened it would have a huge impact on airports here.
However, a spokesperson from City of Derry Airport, We can confirm that Ryanair, Europe’s No1 airline, which has been operating commercial flights from City of Derry Airport since 1999 – and continues to offer passengers travelling to and from City of Derry Airport low cost fares to a range of UK and European destination will continue to do so.
“City of Derry Airport will continue to liaise directly with Ryanair regarding its future plans.
“The 2016 winter schedule will see Ryanair operate nine weekly services from City of Derry Airport to London Stansted Airport, these flights are currently on sale and can be booked via www.ryanair.com. “
