Aer Arann launch thrice-weekly Waterford to Manchester route

RED DEVILS fans who want to cheer on Roy Keane and John O'Shea in person now have the option of flying to Manchester three days a week out of the South East Regional Airport at Waterford.

Aer Arann is to introduce a thrice-weekly service on Tuesday, May 4 that will link the Waterford with Manchester International Airport. Support for the service is likely to be keen among sports fans in particular, mainly Manchester United fans in Waterford and Cork.

The 70-minute flights on a 48-seater ATR 42 aircraft will depart Manchester for Waterford at 5.30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and leave Waterford for Manchester at 7.10pm on the same days with fares from €29.99 each way plus tax.
