Wed, 22 Jul, 2009
Aer Lingus has announced that it will be adding to its Shannon to Heathrow roster.
Two-years after the travel operator ceased flights between the two hubs, but has recently re-opened the route and has now added the extra flight.
The new mid-day flight will give air passengers a greater choice when booking a trip between Shannon and London.
Aer Lingus corporate affairs director noted that the reason for the change was "demand from the region".
He said: "The increased frequency will connect Shannon and London Heathrow three times daily, which will further strengthen business, leisure and connecting traffic between the west of Ireland and Europe's largest international airport."
Bookings for the new flight will be taken from Thursday (July 23rd).
Heathrow Airport is the busiest international airport in the world and is serviced by more than 90 airlines.
Flights from heathrow travel to around 180 destinations globally and more than 65 million passengers pass through its doors every year.
