Aer Lingus leaves region stranded

I AM not usually given to writing letters, but then again I am not usually this mad.

The news that Aer Lingus is to move its Shannon-Heathrow slots to Belfast was beyond comprehension (Irish Examiner, August 6).

While I have been highly suspicious of Aer Lingus’s anti-Shannon undertones for some time, if ever we needed proof, we have it now. As a frequent business traveller on this route, I have to question the logic behind the move.
