    Perhaps Shannon Airport should look at enticing the budget airlines market more.

    Its a shocking decision by Aer Lingus. If they needed the Heathrow landing slots so badly for Belfast why couldn't they have taken one flight a day from Shannon, Cork and Dublin?

    I totally agree, this decision to effectively move jobs from Midwest region to the North is disgraceful.
    Where the hell are our TD's now ?
    This could spell trouble unless another airline can take this route to Heathrow.
    No businessman is going to want to fly to stanstead or gatwick over heathrow for the most part

    RyanAir have said they would take over the SNN - Heathrow route. They own 25% of Aer Lingus as well. Not sure what the story is with landing permission in Heathrow though.
