Speaking in Liverpool today, Ryanair's deputy CEO, Michael Cawley said:

        'Ryanair launched its 11th base in John Lennon Airport in November 2004
        and since then traffic has increased eightfold. Today, we are delighted
        to be adding 11 new routes from Liverpool, which will deliver 600 new
        jobs, 600,000 more passengers and £80M additional tourism spend in
        Merseyside.

        'From October, Ryanair will base its sixth and seventh Boeing 737-800
        aircraft in Liverpool, bringing our investment in John Lennon Airport to
        over $420M bringing 2.8M passengers per annum, sustaining 2,800 jobs in
        the region and allowing passengers in the North West to enjoy flights
        for half the price of Easyjet.

        'To celebrate the launch of these 11 new routes Ryanair is launching a
        £2,000,000 Seat Sale available on all routes from Liverpool, available
        from today on www.ryanair.com and we advise passengers to book early as
        demand will be very strong'.
