    This is some good news, from rte.ie/business.
    Twenty one years after it was inaugurated, Knock Airport in Co Mayo is to introduce its first scheduled transatlantic flights.

    The flights will operate to and from Boston and New York and the airport board says they will bring up to 35,000 tourists to the western region.

    The low cost UK carrier Flyglobespan will begin operating the flights to and from Ireland West Airport in May.

    There will be three flights a week to New York and two to Boston. These flights will originate in Liverpool and Glasgow.

    The airport board says the services have the potential to give the region a €28m boost in the first year of operation.

    Managing director Liam Scollan said the US flights were a 'hugely significant development' for the airport.
