Shannon Airport is set to receive another boost with the announcement that Aer Lingus is expanding its Boston Service.
The airline will operate three additional flights each week from mid-May until August 20th.
The Shannon Airport Group says this expansion reflects growing demand for travel between the Mid-West region and the United States, and underscores Shannon Airport’s strategic importance as a transatlantic gateway.
It brings the number of seats available to North America from Shannon Airport next summer to over 350,000, which is the highest number of seats since 2018.
The additional services will depart Shannon at 11:00am and arrive in Boston at 1:00pm, allowing customers to make the most of their day upon arrival.
In a statement to Clare FM, the Interim CEO of The Shannon Airport Group has said the move is a “strong vote of confidence in the region and in Shannon Airport’s role in supporting tourism, business, and diaspora travel.
Ray O’Driscoll also says “the additional flights will offer even greater flexibility and convenience for passengers.”
Aer Lingus currently operates daily direct services from Shannon to Boston and New York (JFK) in the US, as well as flights from Shannon to London Heathrow and Paris Charles De Gaulle.
