Revealed: History made for lucky Ireland West Airport Knock passenger

The lucky 12 million passenger was Alison Lynch, who flew on the London Stansted to Knock service.

Ryanair today (Thurs, 23 Oct) announced that it has surpassed 12 million passengers through Ireland West Airport Knock since it began operations to/from the airport in 1986.

The lucky 12 million passenger was Alison Lynch, who flew on the London Stansted to Knock service.

Ireland West Airport Knock’s Managing Director, Joe Gilmore, said:

“This is another significant milestone in the airport’s history, welcoming Ryanair’s 12 millionth passenger to the airport. Ryanair’s first scheduled commercial flight into Knock was on 16th December 1986 — the “Spirit of Monsignor Horan” HS-748 landed at Knock from London which at the time was the first direct link from the West of Ireland to London. It’s been a fantastic journey over the last 39 years with so many great highlights and milestones achieved along the way."
