Knock Airport

Now officially Ireland West Airport (NOC), and famously founded by Monsignor James Horan, the story of which has even inspired a musical, Knock has gained twice weekly year-round services to Manchester and Edinburgh with Ryanair.

Flights to Gatwick with Aer Lingus return on 31 October on a daily basis.

All these new services will provide a major boost for the airport and the region as it restores critically important connectivity between the north-west of Ireland and Manchester and Edinburgh.  

The airport’s location is the most convenient for Sligo, the nearest town, about 30 miles away, and Donegal a further 30 miles onwards north-west.

Ryanair now offers passengers a choice of 13 destinations across the UK and Europe for the balance of the 2021 season.

Joe Gilmore, Managing Director, Ireland West Airport, said: "Following the continued successful rollout of the vaccination programmes, both here and in the UK, and the implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate, we are pleased to have seen a very strong recovery in passenger numbers for the month of August and the trends are looking positive for a busy winter season.”
