Aer Lingus’ year-round US flights resume at Shannon

Aer Lingus has resumed year-round services to New York from Shannon Airport for the first time in five years.

Every year since 2009, the airline has suspended flights from Shannon to New York and Boston between January and March, claiming the routes weren’t economical.

Since then, Aer Lingus had flown on alternate days to Boston (four times weekly) and New York (three times a week) and while just one Airbus A330 aircraft had been based at Shannon to serve both routes, two smaller Boeing 757 jets will now ensure daily operations to both cities.
