Shannon Airport - Restored Flights
Aer Lingus Regional has announced its intention is to restore flights to Edinburgh from March next year.
The new service, which will be operated for Aer Lingus Regional by Stobart Air, will see six flights weekly operate year-round from 28 March between Shannon and the Scottish capital, which is the second most popular tourism city in the UK after London.
It will generate an extra 35,000 in seat capacity for Shannon in 2016, rising to 45,000 per annum from 2017.
Shannon Group CEO Neil Pakey said the airport was seeking to add to their existing schedule of services.
“Edinburgh has been one of the services at the top of our list and Aer Lingus Regional’s announcement that it is to restore the service next year is really good news for Shannon and our passengers.
“Edinburgh has proven a hugely popular service here in the past and in terms of feedback from the public, it is one of the routes we had most requests for over the past number of months,” he added.
