Shannon confirms Glasgow link will reopen

Shannon Airport has secured its first new service since it was cut free from the Dublin Airport Authority a month ago.

The airport, which has committed to rebuilding passenger numbers to 2.5m by 2018, has confirmed that the Shannon to Glasgow link will be reopened from May by Europe’s largest regional airline, Flybe.

The new flights to Glasgow will operate three times weekly from May and are expected to generate over 10,000 additional passengers through Shannon Airport in 2013.
