Aer Lingus reveal new route from Shannon Airport

AER LINGUS has announced it is to reintroduce its Shannon to Paris service for the duration of the Rugby World Cup in France.

It comes only a few months after low-cost Spanish carrier Vueling moved to axe its service between Shannon and the French capital city.

It will operate on a twice-weekly basis from September 22 until the end of October when the rugby tournament ends.

In a statement, the flag-carrier airline said: "The addition of this route will boost regional connectivity for the Shannon region further reinforcing the airline's dedication to offering accessible travel options for passengers to Europe as well as North America with daily transatlantic flights to New York and Boston."

"The Shannon - Paris route will also increase inbound traffic in the West of Ireland, serving as a gateway to explore the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture the region has to offer. Shannon Airport, Europe’s most westerly airport has long enjoyed its advantageous geographical position, bridging Europe and North America. European passengers will also benefit from convenient connections to the United States through Shannon, allowing for a seamless travel experience with the added advantage of customers being able to clear US Customs and Immigration in Shannon airport, removing the requirement to be cleared upon arrival stateside," they added.

It's now available to book online - Google Aer Lingus for the airline's official web site to get your tickets!
