Fears Aer Lingus to pull out of Shannon altogether

SHANNON’S Aer Lingus staff have said they are more convinced than ever the company plans to pull out of the mid-west altogether.

Despite persistent denials by the company, members of the employee-based Shannon Action Group said they fear for their future. They are basing their latest assertion on a conversation overheard on a flight last January. The alleged conversation reportedly took place among Aer Lingus managers and was overheard by a member of the company’s cabin crew.

SAG member Geraldine Morrissey said the comments have been reconsidered in light of the transfer to Belfast.
