Govt will try to replace air service

The Government says it will do everything possible to find a replacement air service for routes affected by the collapse of Euroceltic Airways.

The regional airline had its operating licence revoked by the UK civil aviation authority resulting in the loss of 120 jobs.

Air commuters from Donegal, Sligo and Waterford to Dublin are wondering this morning how long they will be left without a vital link to the capital.

The airline had operated several times a day, and airports in England.

All five Euroceltic routes have been shut.
