In response to customer feedback, XL.com has this week started to operate new evening flight times to London Gatwick from Ireland West Airport Knock for the Summer Season. Flights to London Gatwick will now depart on Monday at 19:45; Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at 19:15; Friday at 20:15 and Sunday at 20:40

Commenting on the new flight times, Bill Smith, Managing Director, XL Ireland said: “We offer low cost fares but always aim to provide passengers with a top class service. This means that we always try to respond to the feedback that our passengers give us. We have received a lot of positive comments on the new London Gatwick service; passengers welcome the fact that they now have a new choice of a low cost carrier in the Irish market.”


The new times will not only benefit the business traveller but those who commute to and from London at the weekends and people looking for a short break.
