Paris link helps Shannon Airport bounce back

SHANNON is successfully managing the connectivity crisis triggered by the January 1 termination of the Aer Lingus Heathrow service, the airport director said yesterday.

A replacement service to Paris is being well received by people needing long-haul connections in and out of Shannon.

Shannon Airport director Martin Moroney said: “It is not all solved, but I think the vast majority of customers say the replacement CityJet service to Charles de Gaulle is fine and we are over the hump... CityJet and Aer France are very happy and they are getting a high 70% load factor.”
