RYANAIR LAUNCHES 8 NEW ROUTES FROM SHANNON




BIRMINGHAM, DUBLIN, FUERTEVENTURA, KAUNAS, LEEDS, LUTON, RIGA & TENERIFE







Ryanair,
Ireland’s National airline, today (Thursday, 31st May 2007) announced
eight new routes from its Shannon base to Birmingham, Dublin,
Fuerteventura (Canaries), Kaunas, Luton, Leeds, Riga and Tenerife,
which will start in November. From November, Ryanair will also increase
the frequency of its Edinburgh (to daily) and Manchester (to 6 weekly)
services. This expansion includes Ryanair’s first domestic route from
Shannon to Dublin and brings the number of destinations offered from
the airport to 31.
Announcing these new routes, Ryanair’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, said:
“With
Ryanair’s latest expansion at Shannon, 1.7m passengers annually will
enjoy Ireland’s lowest fares guaranteed. This will deliver a visitor
spend of €250m and support 1,700 jobs in the West. In the space of just
2 years, Ryanair has delivered dramatic tourism and economic growth for
Shannon and the West as promised.
“Shannon is now
accessible from Galway in just over 1 hour thanks to the new Ennis
by-pass, making Ryanair’s 31 low fare routes at Shannon the low fare
reference point for the whole of the West of Ireland. We look forward
to delivering significant economic benefits for Galway and Connemara
with these additional passenger numbers.
“Our new, twice
daily commuter route to Dublin will allow people from the West to fly
day returns from Shannon and avoid the M50 traffic chaos for less than
the price of half a tank of petrol.
“To celebrate these 8
new routes, we have slashed €20 off all return flights and we urge
passengers to book these lowest fares today on www.ryanair.com, as these bargains will sell out quickly”.
In welcoming these new routes, Martin Moroney, Director, Shannon Airport, said:
“We
are delighted to see further expansion of Ryanair’s operations,
particularly the inclusion of Dublin in its route network, offering a
daily return service. Galway is an important part of our catchment area
for both inbound and outbound traffic, and we look forward to working
with the tourism and business sector in harnessing support for these
new services. Ryanair now carries over 50% of the terminal passenger
traffic at Shannon airport and we look forward to working with them in
the future as we expand our business”.
Niall Gibbons, Director, Corporate Services, Tourism Ireland added:
“Tourism
Ireland, the organisation responsible for marketing the island of
Ireland overseas, has warmly welcomed the announcement of the expansion
of Ryanair services from Britain and Mainland Europe into Shannon
Airport. Both markets were key drivers behind the record visitor
numbers to Ireland last year so it augurs well for the season ahead.
This expansion of services will make it even easier for visitors from
these important markets to explore the many attractions on offer in the
Shannon region”.

Suspention hivernale des vols de Nantes, Biarritz et Carcassonne vers Shannon !

De Nantes, c'était déjà le cas l'hiver dernier.
Vu la géographie et la démographie de Shannon et sa région, ce n'est que logique... L'Ouest irlandais est typiquement un marché estival, aussi bien en incoming qu'en outgoing.
