Shannon to target Dublin-bound flyers for growth

Shannon Airport plans to target passengers travelling from the mid-west to Dublin for flights as part of its plan to increase passengers numbers.

The head of the Shannon Airport Authority also stated that the airport wants to secure connectivity with a second European hub.

Lawyer and Clare native Rose Hynes, who was appointed by the Government as chair of the new authority last month, addressed the Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications on its future plans.
