“This significant investment forms part of a longer-term strategy between Ryanair and the airport’s management team to deliver sustainable growth.”

Airport chief commercial officer Jonathan Rayner added: “We are delighted to welcome the arrival of these three new fuel-efficient Ryanair aircraft.

“As well as our commitment to achieve net zero carbon for our own airport emissions by 2040, we are working closely with our airlines to reduce their emissions.”

 and Ryanair’s investment in these next generation aircraft is an exciting development that underlines its commitment to working sustainably with LLA.

We are looking forward to the busy summer months and our focus as ever is on delivering a simple and friendly passenger experience.”
