All the new services are scheduled to begin on 3 October

Starting later this year, the new services include daily flights to Aberdeen and Inverness and four flights a week to Tampere, Finland.

The other eight services will be three-a-week operations. All the new services begin on 3 October.

Ryanair said the new routes will generate 600 jobs and draw 600,000 more passengers a year to the airport.

The new services take the number of routes Ryanair runs from Liverpool to 32.

The other new flights are to Alghero and Ancona in Italy, Kaunas in Lithuania, Krakow, Poznan and Wroclaw in Poland, and Santander and Santiago in Spain.
