CityJet prepared to stay in mid-west and battle for travellers

AER LINGUS should prepare itself for a fight to reclaim its status in the mid-west as the business- traveller’s airline after it abandoned the region in 2007.

CityJet, which moved into Shannon when Aer Lingus retreated, said it is prepared to stay in the mid-west and battle for international travellers.

This call came yesterday after Aer Lingus announced it was restoring its Shannon/Heathrow service in March after pulling it last year.
