LOW cost airline Ryanair has celebrated flying its 12 millionth passenger at Liverpool John Lennon airport.
Liverpool man Martin O'Neill, accompanied by Kelley Carroll with daughters Lola and Jeorja, was flying from the city to Knock when he was approached by Liverpool JLA head of PR Robin Tudor and told of his milestone status.
The airport presented the surprised party with a bottle of champagne to commemorate the event.
Ryanair spokeswoman Maria Macken said: “Ryanair is delighted to celebrate its 12 millionth customer at its Liverpool base.
“Since operations commenced in Liverpool in 1988 with one route to Dublin, Ryanair has continued to grow and now operates 44 routes to and from Liverpool to top European destinations, including the recently-announced winter sunshine routes to Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife which will commence at the end of October.”
