Ryanair adds new routes from Shannon Airport

RYANAIR has announced it will be introducing new routes from Shannon next summer, and adding a third aircraft from the base.

In a boost to the airport, the budget carrier will service Newcastle-upon-Tyne in north-east England and Béziers in the south of France from next summer.

The airline says the addition of another aircraft in Shannon will create 30 new, direct jobs, and a €303m investment.

It also means Ryanair will provide Shannon with more than 180 flights a week.
