Cut in US flights ‘huge blow’ to economy of mid-west

A SUBSTANTIAL reduction in the number of US flights in and out of Shannon Airport could influence the decision of American companies thinking of locating in Kerry or in the mid-west, IBEC regional director Chris O’ Donovan has warned.

He also said such a reduction in air services could have a negative impact on tourism in the region.

Addressing the annual general meeting of Kerry IBEC, he said having less services would also be a huge blow to the many companies operating in the south and west.
