Aer Lingus asked to ‘come clean’ on Shannon plan

AER Lingus has been asked to “come clean” and end speculation over the future of its operation at Shannon Airport amid fears that it will cut as many as three short-haul routes and suspend its transatlantic operation for the winter.

The airline has confirmed that its short-haul operations are being reviewed as fears grow for three routes, all of which are less than 12 months old, with the newest service only having commenced in March.

The airline’s Shannon to Paris Charles De Gaulle and London Gatwick services are feared to be facing the chop after showing poor performances.
