Aer Lingus to axe Shannon-Boston flights for winter months

A second airline has confirmed it will drop services between Shannon and Boston for the next winter season.

Following a similar announcement from Norwegian Air International last week, Aer Lingus has now confirmed it will not operate between Shannon and Boston during the months of January to March.

Aer Lingus plans to axe its daily service between Shannon and Boston Logan International but will instead continue to operate its New York/JFK route, which it normally suspends during the same period. The carrier has cited greater demand for New York during this period and better connectivity than from Boston.
