Low cost airline Ryanair has announced a new winter route out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport and will begin flying to one of Europe’s most beautiful capital cities. Tony McDonough reports
Ryanair will begin flights to Stockholm from Liverpool Airport
Ryanair has announced its fifth new route out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) in the last six months.
From November 2021, the carrier will fly twice-weekly to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Flights will begin on November 2 and will depart on Saturdays and Thursdays through the winter season.
This latest announcement is another vote of confidence in Liverpool Airport from Dublin-based Ryanair. In the last few months with the latest being a new flight to the Greek island of Kos announced just two weeks ago.
The aviation sector has taken a battering due to the COVID-19 pandemic and LJLA chief executive John Irving said 2020 had been the airport’s “toughest year ever” due to multiple lockdowns.
It is hoped that later this week the Government will announce the the easing of COVID-19 restrictions from May 17 that will allow people to fly to foreign destinations. Regional airports such as Liverpool can ill-afford another ruined summer season.
Stockholm comprises 14 islands and more than 50 bridges on an extensive Baltic Sea archipelago. The cobblestone streets and ochre-colored buildings of Gamla Stan (the old town) are home to the 13th-century Storkyrkan Cathedral, the Kungliga Slottet Royal Palace and the Nobel Museum.
Paul Winfield, Liverpool Airport’s director of aviation development, said: “International travel restrictions are set to be lifted shortly. Throughout the pandemic we have continued to plan ahead with our airline partners, remaining confident that passengers will return to international travel over the coming weeks and months.
“This latest news from Ryanair of their further commitment to Liverpool is more great news for travellers from across the region with a direct link from here to Sweden for the first time in many years- ..

Michael O’Leary, chief executive of Ryanair, says weeks bookings have treble as COVID-19 restrictions are eased and the airline has launched five new routes out of Liverpool. Tony McDonough reports
Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary says bookings have trebled since April
Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary says flights bookings have trebled in the last few weeks as Europe starts to ease its COVID-19 restrictions.
On Monday Ryanair reported a pre-tax loss of more the £700m for the year to March 31 as the full impact of the pandemic on the Dublin-based carrier laid out. Multiple lockdowns led to an 81% fall in passenger numbers to just 27.5m.
However, Mr O’Leary said its recovery had already begun, revealing weekly bookings have risen from 500,000 in early April to 1.5m a week in May. This is good news for Liverpool John Lennon Airport where Ryanair is its biggest airline alongside easyJet.
Ryanair has shown confidence in Liverpool despite the impact of the pandemic on the travel sector. In the past six months the airline has announced five new routes out of Liverpool, the latest being a new service to Stockholm.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr O’Leary said: “The rate of bookings suggests there is a huge amount of confidence. We are very optimistic for the next couple of months.
“For vaccinated Britons going to the beaches of Portugal, Spain and Greece, I think there is very little risk. Everybody is right to be cautious, but I think everybody can take their holiday in Europe with a high degree of confidence.”
Ryanair has launched five new routes out of Liverpool in six months
Ryanair’s annual £702m loss was a little better than an £717m loss forecast by many analysts. Mr O’Leary added: “It’s better than we predicted, but still a fairly traumatic loss for an airline that has been consistently profitable for our 35-year history.”
The carrier’s full-year revenue fell by 81% to £1.41bn. Ancillary revenue delivered a solid performance as more guests chose priority boarding and reserved seating, resulting in an 11% increase in per passenger spend to almost £19.
Its balance sheet is, according to Ryanair, one of the strongest in the industry. Since March 2020, it has lowered cash burn by cutting costs, participating in EU Government payroll support schemes, cancelling share buybacks and deferring non-essential capital expenditure. It has raised £1.68bn in the past year and has £2.71bn in cash.
In its outlook, Ryanair said: “FY22 continues to be challenging, with uncertainty around when and where COVID lockdowns and travel restrictions will be eased. The group expects Q1 traffic to be heavily curtailed to between 5m and 6m guests.
“With a very close-in booking curve, visibility for the remainder of FY22 is close to zero although bookings have jumped significantly from a very low base since week one of April. It is therefore impossible to provide meaningful FY22 guidance at this time.”
