Ryanair has launched a new route from Liverpool to Bari, with a twice weekly service beginning in March 2017, the first route of Ryanair’s Liverpool summer 2017 schedule.

Ryanair spokesman Robin Kiely said: “Ryanair is pleased to announce a new route from Liverpool to Bari, which starts in March with a twice weekly service, the first of our summer 2017 routes, with our full schedule set to be unveiled soon.

“Liverpool customers and visitors can look forward to further improvements under Ryanair’s “Always Getting Better” programme including more new routes, new digital features, new cabin interiors and even more low fares.

The full Ryanair Liverpool schedule will be launched in full soon.

Robin Tudor, head of PR for Liverpool John Lennon Airport, said: “This is yet another new route to be served from Liverpool and the only flight to Bari from the North West.

“It comes hot on the heels of Ryanair’s news of flights to Marrakech from here, and gives the region’s travellers an even greater choice of destinations from Liverpool.”
