Disappointment as Aer Arann ends service at regional airport

The decision by Aer Arann to end its flights to and from Waterford Regional Airport, leaving the airport serviced by just one other airline on one route, has been met with disappointment.

Aer Arann, operating as Aer Lingus Regional, currently operates flights from Waterford to Manchester, London Luton, and London Southend, but announced yesterday it is ending those services on Jan 6.

Airport management are working to replace the lost routes. Flybe’s service to and from Birmingham is now the only route guaranteed for Waterford after the Jan 6.
