The CEO of Limerick Chamber, James Ring, has said that the announcement of four new services for Shannon Airport shows the relevance of the region from a tourism and business perspective.
Welcoming the announcement, James Ring said: “This is another great day for Shannon. The very fact that a new airline (Norwegian Air International) comes into Ireland to establish a low-cost transatlantic service and chooses Shannon for four weekly services across two destinations, says a lot about the importance of the airport’s importance in a national and international context.
“The team at Shannon must be congratulated for getting this across the line. It now has seven US destinations, which is a major achievement and outstanding service to the region. It reaffirms this region as a destination of choice for US travellers, for tourism and, indeed, business as it most definitely supports our efforts to bring in and sustain foreign direct investment.”
