Pearson Announces New Air Links For Londonderry
Seems curious to start a route when funding is available, to then quit it and then reopen it when no funding is available. That was only 5 years ago.
However LDY is a substantially different airport to 5 years ago and who knows what pressures Aer Arann were under back then.
Welcome nevertheless.
