Aer Lingus’s New York route saved by Delta decision

AER Lingus’s Shannon to New York route got a “stay of execution” following the decision by Delta Airlines to cease its service on the route.

Aer Lingus said yesterday that the route will remain under review but it is still for sale and has not been cut.

The airline had been expected to announce yesterday that it was cutting the service but a decision by Delta to cease its service in October after 13 years made the airline rethink its plans.
