LOW-COST SPANISH AIRLINE, Vueling Airlines has announced service to Paris from Shannon Airport.

Starting from September 12th, the Shannon to Paris service will operate twice weekly with flights to Paris Orly Airport on Mondays and Fridays.

In what is seen as a huge coup for Shannon giving access to a major European hub with Orly Airport the nearest airport to the centre of Paris, just 13km from the city of lights. It is the second largest airport in France and provides hub connectivity with onward connections to major European cities and Middle Eastern countries.

It represents a further boost to Shannon Airport’s pandemic recovery which will now see the airport operate 27 services to the US, UK, and Europe.

Securing a link with Paris has been an aspiration of Shannon Group’s management for some time. In November 2019, Aer Lingus announced routes from Shannon to Paris and Barcelona that were to start in May and March of 2020 but never did due to COVID-19. The route to Charles de Gauille was to operate four times a week.

CEO of Shannon Group, Mary Considine said the destination would be an exciting one for passengers to enjoy. “We are delighted to welcome our new carrier Vueling, part of IAG, to Shannon Airport. This service is another major boost for inbound and outbound business and tourism interests in the region. We have been working closely with Vueling to deliver the service and are looking forward to seeing our passengers jet off to this globally renowned city, steeped in culture and history. Paris is one of the most popular cities in the world”.

Vueling has scheduled a total of 114 destinations in 31 countries until October 29th 2022 reaching a similar level of operations to 2019. “The new direct route between Shannon and Paris Orly airports reinforces Vueling’s interest in providing a more flexible and varied offer to travellers based in Ireland,” said Carolyn Prowse, Vueling’s Chief Commercial, Strategy, Customer and Network officer.

Shannon is the only State airport in Ireland to operate a faster, security screening system is proving popular with passengers elininating the need to remove liquids, cosmetics, and electronics from carry-on bags, while also halving the dwell time through security.

Named the world’s most attractive city destination for 2021 in the Euromonitor’s Top 100 City Destination Index, Paris is just a two-hour flight from Shannon Airport. The city is known far and wide as the European epicentre of culture, cuisine, fashion, and style. Its beautiful boulevards, world-famous sights, rich history and breathtaking architecture provide the backdrop for a truly memorable experience. From the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, to Disneyland Paris and river trips along the Seine, visitors will be spoilt for choice.

Tickets are on sale on vueling.com and the airline’s mobile app. For more on the destination visit www.shannonairport.ie
