A new daily service from Shannon Airport to Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris is to start next February when CityJet begins a new route.
The move has been welcomed by political and business leaders in the Mid-West, in the wake of the announcement by Aer Lingus that it is to end its long-established Shannon-Heathrow service by January 13.
The new CityJet service, which begins on February 4, will operate twice daily. Shannon Airport says it will offer customers access to a hub to more than 248 destinations operated by CityJet's parent company Air France.

Airport director Martin Moroney said the decision was 'a hugely significant development' for businesses in the West.
Transport Minister Noel Dempsey said he believed the route's arrival in Shannon would help to increase business and attract new industries and visitors. The Atlantic Connectivity Alliance said the news was a boost to its efforts to keep international connectivity in the West and Mid-West.
