New service launched between Knock Airport and Boston

Knock Airport is marking its 21st birthday today with the launch of a new transatlantic service to Boston.

The service is being operated by the low-cost airline Flyglobespan, with the first flight arriving from Logan Airport this morning.

The Scottish airline, which also began services between Knock and New York at the weekend, says demand for the flights has been high, with 65-70% of seats filled by take-off.
