New Services Boost Irish Terminal Air Traffic
New airline services at Dublin and Shannon are set to boost Irish terminal air traffic.
In particular, Dublin traffic will be boosted by a number of additional routes to Canada. In April, Aer Lingus will begin non-stop flights between Dublin and Toronto, seven times per week with a Boeing 757 aircraft. WestJet will also start daily service on 15 June with Boeing 737-700 from St. John's to Dublin, with connecting services from several other Canadian destinations.
Shannon air traffic is likewise set to see continuing increases, with Ryanair announcing a number of new routes for the summer, including Berlin, Paris, Fuerteventura, Warsaw, Faro, Munich, Nice and Krakow.
The news is against a backdrop of already promising terminal air traffic figures, with total traffic increasing at State airports by 6.2% in February 2014, when compared to February 2013.
Individually, the February 2014 figures for the three State airports, when compared to the same month in the previous year are:
• Commercial terminal flights at Dublin up 7.2% with an average of 404 daily movements.
• Commercial terminal flights at Cork down 5.3%, with an average of 46 daily movements.
• Commercial terminal flights at Shannon up by 10.9% with an average of 40 daily movements.
On a cumulative basis, commercial terminal traffic for Shannon, Dublin and Cork airports for the period January – February 2014, was up by 6.4% when compared to the same period in 2013.
Statistics for the IAA’s North Atlantic Communications services saw an increase of 2.89% in February 2014, when compared to February 2013.
