Aer Lingus Opens new Flights to Ireland

Aer Lingus have announced the opening of four new routes from the UK to Shannon

Irish airline Aer Lingus has revealed that they are to open four new routes from Britain to Shannon. Opening up the south west of Ireland to more people than ever before the new flights will fly from a range of airports across Britain as the airline carrier makes continuing increases to its operations.

Following on from the launch of franchise activity from Cork and Dublin, Aer Arann operated Aer Lingus Regional said that Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol will all have new Irish routes launched. Allowing for tourists up and down the country to easily access the country, daily flights will be available from Glasgow and Manchester whilst a six weekly service will be operated from Birmingham and Bristol.  Explaining that they had noted a strong demand for additional flights to be implemented to Shannon chief executive officer of Aer Arann, Paul Schutz, said that the new operations had come about due to both the tourist and business sectors showing increased desire to access the city. "We are providing a unique product that combines the best of both Aer Arann and Aer Lingus and offers both business and leisure passengers a quality service with excellent frequency," he added.

The increased operations may prove particularly popular with tourists who, in the post recession period, are looking for ways to reduce spending and go on cheaper holidays. And with Ireland continuing to be a cultural and desirable holiday location, increased access to areas of the country which some may not have seen before may prove particularly popular with those looking for cheap flights and a quick getaway.
