Future of Derry – Dublin flight in doubt
25.01.11
The future of the Aer Arann Derry to Dublin route is in doubt after the Irish government said it would no longer subsidise the flights, the BBC reports. The airline relies on a subsidy to operate the flights, but the money will end in July casting doubt over its future.
The manager of City of Derry Airport, Damien Tierney, said he is confident another airline will step in should Aer Arann axe the route. He said: ‘The route has in the past been very successful, and I'm confident it can work as a purely commercial route. We're hopeful we can secure that, and we believe the route can justify it.’
