Busy week for Aer Arann

Aer Arann has begun a number of new flights and improved other schedules this week.

The airline has started twice-weekly flights to Malaga and Faro from Galway and Waterford airports, following increased demand for services to the two sunshine destinations.

It has also begun service to Amsterdam from Galway and Waterford this week, flying to the Dutch capital four times a week.

"Spain and Portugal are popular destinations for Irish sun seekers," commented Aer Arann managing director Garry Cullen.

"Aer Arann's flights to Malaga and Faro provide summer sun destinations direct from Galway and Waterford Airports."

Meanwhile, those flying from Cork can now enjoy extra flights to Dublin - including extra early morning departures - and Edinburgh, as well as the reintroduction of services to Southampton.

Aer Arann also said it expects to launch new routes to France from Ireland later this month.
