The summer schedule will support more than 2,000 local jobs.
John Irving, chief executive Liverpool John Lennon Airport, said: "As our longest serving airline partner of nearly 40 years with around 40 million of their passengers having chosen to travel via Liverpool in that time, firstly I'd like to thank Ryanair for their continued support and for this latest commitment.
