Aer Lingus may consider resuming short-haul flights from Shannon, including restoring the Heathrow route, The Sunday Business Post has learned.
Informed sources have said that the airline will consider bringing back the route, with the possibility of two slots on the back of cost savings at Shannon. The move is a response to Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary’s promise to restore Shannon-Heathrow flights if his €748 million takeover bid for the airline is successful.
It comes after Aer Lingus chief executive Dermot Mannion’s announcement last Friday, that the airline was to remove all fuel surcharges on its long-haul services booked on flights from today.
