Welcoming the announcement today (Thursday 6th May 2010) by Delta Airline to re-instate their Shannon-New York (KFK) air service this winter Dr. Vincent Cunnane, chief executive, Shannon Development said;
“The restoration of the Delta winter series is a boost for members of the public, tourism and business interests in the Shannon Region. As the tourism authority for the Region we welcome the additional capacity in the transatlantic market this winter and we will work with our colleagues in Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland to maximise this opportunity. This combined with the annoucement earlier this year that Continental Airlines will increase the number of flights between Shannon and Newark this summer, gives a much needed boost to Shannon International Airport. In this challenging business environment the decisions by both airlines shows the appeal of Shannon and west of Ireland as a holiday and business destination.”
