    Good to see Knock opening again. Hopefully the Café in Sligo will open again soon to for general aviation. In other matters west,I would say time is running out fast for Galway airfield(airport).Houses before long.

    From Knock :

    The airport are pleased to announce that we will be reopening and resuming flight operations on Wednesday July 1st. Flights with Ryanair will resume to Alicante, Barcelona-Girona (August start), Faro, Malaga, Milan (Bergamo), Palma (Majorca) London Luton and Stansted, Liverpool, Bristol and East Midlands initially. We expect to welcome Aer Lingus back to the airport at a later date in the summer.

    We are currently putting in place a number of new measures to ensure the journey through Ireland West Airport continues to be a safe and pleasant one - you can see more details by visiting www.irelandwestairport.com/flysafe and we will be providing further details of the new protocols at the airport next week.

    Great news for Knock as they get the Birmingham Route back for the first time ever with Ryanair, great news this, should see this route continue and grow with Ryanair as other carriers such as Flybe, BMI Baby etc have all went bust, and were never a viable long term option.

    The scrappage company at the airport seems to be doing well. Three jets there today, Virgin, EI and Air Astana.

    Did you see the coloured stones at the end of the runway? Someone isn't busy.

    How likely are Ryanair to offer Knock to Cologne next summer 2023?

    Massive news. LHR would be a wonderful route from the airport

    Not unexpected though, as the summer DUB/LHR schedule has an aircraft in LHR for exactly the time required to go to NOC and back!

    So it would be operated by Aer Lingus as opposed to Emerald Airlines?


    If an A320, it's a massive win for the airport, if it's an ATR, capacity will be largely reduced so much less so.

    The NOC-LHR route will be an A320, as per the LGW service currently.

    The reference to EI Regional above is in connection with Belfast City.

    This is significant for NOC, opens up connections around the globe .

    It’s a very significant development for Knock, I really hope it does well because the LGW service has built up a loyal customer base and serves a very large area with little competition. It’s been part of the network for well over a decade now so will be seen as a loss for some.

    The LHR connection will have plenty of advantages but is undoubtedly more costly and faces nearby competition from Ryanair’s LTN/STN services which appeal to many in north London and surrounding counties.

    Likely to be a A320NEO in fact

    Don’t think so….selecting a few random dates shows a A320ceo operating the flight. Might get the odd day where a neo operates the flight as it rotates through the schedule.

    Hopefully Ryanair will pick up LGW because that was still a handy one for SE England.

    Hopefully, but they don’t have a base at LGW or NOC so would have to be a W flight from DUB ORK or SNN. Don’t think Ryanair really do W routes?

    Could you please explain to the non aviation geek what's a 'W'?

    In this case, it's where the aircraft originates in Dublin, flies to Heathrow, then to Knock, back to Heathrow then back to Dublin.

    It’s for an airline to serve a route where there is no aircraft base at either end. Aer lingus didn’t have a base in knock or gatwick so the aircraft went Dublin-gatwick-knock-gatwick-Dublin in order to serve the route, otherwise known as a W routing.

    Is there any chance that Ryanair will extend their schedule to Faro to the mid tem break in October 23 or beyond this date?

    Looking at a bit of a break later in the year but Ryanair schedule only goes up to flight back to Knock on the 26th of October.

    They do often add a few dates at the end of the summer schedule, that won't be until much closer the date. However these are very volatile, and can be expected to be tweaked if booked well in advance.

    First day of the new Heathrow route, fingers crossed it does well.

    Since the winter timetables are not out yet would anybody know or remember if/when Ryanair fly to Milan from Knock in March and what days? Trying to plan a 50th Birthday trip for next year.
