Aer Arann to create 50 jobs this year

AER Arann intends to employ 50 additional staff this year and double in size by 2015, the airline’s chief executive said yesterday.

Paul Schutz was speaking at Shannon Airport, where Aer Arann and Aer Lingus unveiled details of a new route to Edinburgh.

It is the fifth route out of Shannon announced under their franchise agreement since April and replaces a number that ended after Ryanair decided not to renew its five-year deal with the Shannon Airport Authority last year.
