EuroManx lands Jet Deal for GalwayEuroManx lands Jet Deal for Galway
Euromanx, the Isle of Man based airline today announced that it is to commence jet operations from Galway Airport to European destinations, commencing on Monday 18 April. Initially, the airline will operate up to two daily services to London City, a direct service to Paris, Charles de Gaulle, and Malaga Spain. Both routes will be operated by an 82 seat Avro RJ 70, four engine jet aircraft. The service to Paris will run on Mondays and Fridays while the Malaga service will operate on Sundays and Wednesdays. The service to London City Airport offers business and leisure passengers the ability to fly directly from the heart of Galway to the heart of London in just over one hour. The schedule has been designed to accommodate corporate passengers, offering an early morning departure and an evening return, allowing a full business day in London without having to overnight. Similarly, passengers originating in London now have the choice of an early morning departure to Galway and an evening return. Leisure passengers can now fly directly from city to city, servicing the growing short stay break market in both directions. President of Galway Chamber Mr. John Madden, welcoming the news said: Access has long been identified as one of the key areas of concern to Galway Chamber members and with this in mind I set up an Access and Infrastructure Committee as part of the work of my Presidency. It incorporates areas of importance to our members including road, rail, air, sea, broadband and traffic. Galway Airport is an integral part of all access plans for Galway and each time a new route is added it improves the service to the area. Id like to congratulate the Board and Management of Galway Airport on this latest achievement. It is up to us to tap in to the potential that this creates. As the aircraft will be Galway based, the announcement is also a jobs boost for the region as Euromanx intend to base a full aircraft support team and sales crew in Galway. This announcement is very good news for our subsidiary Galway Airport and for the traveling public in Galway and in the destination areas, the President concluded. Euromanx will publish a full schedule including fares to these exciting new destinations from Galway in the coming weeks. Bookings can be made at www.euromanx.com or through your local travel agent once the schedule has been published. Related Links
