Ryanair celebrates 10 millionth passenger at Ireland West Airport Knock

Ryanair,  today (23 May) celebrated carrying 10 million passengers in/out of Ireland West Airport Knock.

Ryanair currently operates over 120 weekly flights to/from Ireland West Airport Knock, a 15% growth on Summer 2022. With over 900000 Ryanair passengers expected to fly in/out of Knock airport this year, the airline says it is committed to driving recovery, growth, and tourism post-Covid.

Celebrating today’s milestone, Joe Gilmore, Managing Director, Ireland West Airport added: “We are delighted to mark yet another significant milestone in the airport’s history welcoming Ryanair’s 10 millionth passenger to the airport. It’s been a fantastic 37 years with so many great highlights and milestones achieved along the way. During this time Ryanair has continued to grow and provide critically important international access to and from the UK market and connected the West of Ireland to sun destinations in Spain and Portugal and also delivered access to European cities such as Milan, Barcelona and Cologne which have been hugely important in growing tourism numbers to the West and Northwest of Ireland. It’s remarkable that in their 37th year of operation here at the airport that it will be their busiest on record and it is testament to the popularity of their destinations and their continued expansion at the airport that record numbers will travel on their services from the airport this year.

"I’d like to thank Ryanair’s customers and in particular the Ryanair staff here at the airport, who continue to play a very important role in helping the airport and Ryanair reach passenger milestones such as this and ensure the experience using the airport continues to be both a seamless and pleasant one. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationship with Ryanair and expanding our range of services with them over the coming years.”
