Aer Lingus: No bias towards Dublin Airport
Aer Lingus has denied suggestions that it has given preferential treatment to Dublin Airport in relation to the operation of its transatlantic services.
The airline this week told a delegation from County Clare and the Mid West Region that it was encouraged by the marketing efforts of local business and tourism interests.
It also pledged its commitment to develop transatlantic services at Shannon Airport.
Councillor Patricia McCarthy, Mayor of Clare, also welcomed the airline’s commitment to investigate the possible reestablishment of a service between Shannon and Chicago.
Presently, all Aer Lingus passengers travelling between Chicago and Shannon must disembark at Dublin Airport.
