FROM May 8, Delta Air Lines and Air France KLM will reinstate year-round nonstop service between Shannon International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport, restoring a popular link between the west of Ireland and the United States.
The flight will operate daily between the two cities during the summer, with four weekly services during the winter.
“We’re bringing back year-round New York-JFK service to respond to an increase in passenger demand for travel to the United States this year,” said Siobhan Scanlon, sales manager for Ireland. “Offering a daily service from Shannon during the summer enables us to provide nonstop travel when the demand is highest during the vacation period.”
“We are delighted to see the resumption of this key service to Shannon this summer,” said Martin Moroney, director of Shannon, in welcoming Delta’s return to Shannon.
Delta’s Shannon service is operated using a Delta Boeing 757-200ER aircraft with 170 seats, featuring personal, in-seat entertainment throughout both cabins. The flight offers passengers convenient connections to New York and to around 45 business and leisure destinations throughout the United States including Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
