Shannon Chamber Welcomes Increased Transatlantic Capacity

Shannon Chamber CEO Helen Downes has welcomed the announcement of additional seat capacity on transatlantic routes into and out of Shannon Airport.

“The announcement that both Delta and United Airlines will offer additional capacity for the summer months to complement the existing choice available is most welcome.

“Enhanced air access is a key enabler for trade, investment, tourism, and talent mobility. It strengthens Shannon’s role as a vital transatlantic gateway and provides our members, and the wider community, with greater flexibility and reach.

“We look forward to working with all stakeholders to ensure this increased capacity is availed of by people throughout the region, and beyond, thereby delivering lasting economic benefits for the Mid-West and Ireland,” stated Ms Downes.
