The additional daily service to this important gateway of JFK will further boost connectivity to the US, helping our customers to reach global export markets, attract Foreign Direct Investment and bring international visitors to the West of Ireland - all of which help drive economic activity.
"Shannon was the first Irish airport that Delta chose to fly into back in 1986 and its fantastic to see them return to Shannon.
