Shannon-Heathrow to resume next month

CORK’S difficulty is Shannon’s opportunity as Aer Lingus has announced it will resume a daily Heathrow service there next month.

It is happening because of the closure of the runway at Cork airport. While the resumption is certainly very welcome, there will only be one service a day in operation, compared to the three daily services pre-pandemic.

However with recovery in the aviation sector likely to be slow, the resumption is certainly a step in the right direction.

In a statement Aer Lingus said, “Due to the closure of the runway at Cork Airport, a daily Aer Lingus service from Shannon to London Heathrow will commence on September 13, and it is intended to operate for the duration of the period of the closure of the runway at Cork Airport. The aircraft and crew operating the service will be based in Dublin.”

From September 13 Heathrow flights will leave Shannon at 5pm each day. The Shannon bound flights will depart Heathrow at 2.45pm every day except Saturday, when the departure time will be 2.20pm.
