A lot better than nothing

The people of the Shannon region probably would have ranked the options for airport hub connections as follows: (1) restoration of the Aer Lingus service, (2) British Midland to Heathrow, and (3) service to a continental hub. For now they are getting the third, with Cityjet service to Roissy/Charles de Gaulle, meaning connections to the Skyteam alliance, which is considerable (Air France, KLM, Delta). It’s 2 flights a day and not the 3 under the EI-LHR service, but it is long-haul access. There’s still the issue identified in the Department of Transport report of American tourists doing Britain-Ireland trips and wanting to get to the west directly from Heathrow, but maybe travel patterns will change. Maintenance of Cork service is very important in that regard. By the way, short-haul service to Heathrow is an endangered species not just in Ireland. Eindhoven just lost its KLM service.
