New Tenerife service commences at Ireland West Airport

IRELAND West Airport yesterday welcomed passengers departing on the new weekly service to Tenerife with Ryanair.

The new route will provide a major boost for the airport and holidaymakers across the west, northwest and midlands regions as weekly flights to this hugely popular sun destination are restored for the first time since January 2020.

Tenerife has long been one of the most popular sun destinations from Ireland West Airport and the new weekly service will operate through the winter season and all year round in 2024.

The reintroduction of the Tenerife service is part of Ryanair’s winter schedule with 10 routes, including two new winter sun destinations - Lanzarote and Tenerife.

Said Joe Gilmore, managing director, Ireland West Airport: “We are delighted to see Tenerife back on our departure’s screens for the first time since early 2020.

“Tenerife and Lanzarote have been our most requested services over the last couple of years and we are finally delighted to be able to welcome both destinations back for the winter season.

“The commencement of the weekly service to Tenerife forms part of a very strong winter schedule which will see Ryanair also operate a weekly service to Malaga and offer flights to an abundance of UK city break destinations.

“We thank Ryanair for their continued support for the airport and their commitment to the West of Ireland region.”
