Nova Scotia and Shannon air link

NOVA SCOTIA’S Minister of Tourism, Culture and Heritage has confirmed that his department will investigate the establishment of a direct flight between Shannon Airport and the Canadian province.

Minister Len Goucher was speaking to Mayor of Clare Flan Garvey at the Milwaukee Irish Fest.

He told the Clare County Council representatives that the establishment of a direct flight from Nova Scotia to the west of Ireland would be of huge benefit to both regions.

Mayor Garvey said: “A direct link between Shannon and Halifax would not only serve to cement these ancestral links but would provide a platform to boost tourism on both sides of the Atlantic.”
