Budget airline Ryanair yesterday announced that they will be operating flights between Lanzarote and Cork in Ireland from 5th June this year, with 30% discounts available on inaugural bookings.

The new route will initially be operating on Saturdays in the months of June, July and August, with a view to extending it once the success of the venture has been evaluated.

Ryanair started operating 16 new services to Lanzarote from the UK and Eire in late October last year. And rapidly became established as the largest single volume carrier to the island. Describing the response to these new routes as ´magnificent’.
