Glasgow has a much wider catchment area and we will be looking forward to seeing some familiar faces coming through. The first Glasgow -Donegal route started in 1986”.

Amanda McMillan, Managing Director of Glasgow Airport, said: "This is fantastic news from Aer Arann as the Irish market is hugely important for Scottish business and tourism.

"This new link to the bustling and beautiful county of Donegal, following the news that Aer Arann and Aer Lingus are joining forces to offer enhanced services to Cork and Dublin, highlights the strong demand for increased air travel between Scotland and Ireland.

"This is good news for business and tourism on both sides of the Irish Sea, and underlines our determination to improve connectivity between our two countries. We are pleased to welcome Aer Arann to Glasgow's airport, and look forward to working with them to enhance air links between Scotland and Ireland."

Scott Taylor, Chief Executive of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, added: "The new service from Donegal has a clear fit with friends and family hopping between Donegal and Glasgow, and with events like the World Irish Dancing championships taking place in the city this year, it’s a perfect opportunity to bring the whole family to experience a major event celebrating the cultural links between the Celts.

"In addition, with such a strong sporting, retail and night life on offer in Glasgow, we look forward to welcoming 2,500 tourists spending £350,000 in the city in the forthcoming year."

Thursday 18th February: Kathleen Tarpey, from Kiltimagh has been announced as the lucky winner of the Aer Arann/Western People Name an Aircraft competition.

Pictured alongside the chosen aircraft name Muire is competition winner Kathleen Tarpey from Kiltimagh. Also pictured is Aer Arann Captain Paul Beare and Cabin attendant Shauna Ebbs.

When Aer Arann decided to christen its entire fleet of aircraft it called on local people in towns and cities throughout the country to do the honours and name the aircraft for them. Entrants were asked to choose a name that they felt reflected Aer Arann and, in this case, Knock and Ireland-West airport, in the best possible way.

Ms. Tarpey chose the name Muire, which is the Irish translation of Mary, Our Lady. The name represents both symbolic and physical features in the area from the shrine of Our Lady of Knock to Chnoc Mhuire the Irish translation of the town of Knock where Ireland West airport is located. The judges felt that this representation along with the strong Irish roots in which Aer Arann is embedded, made the name Muire the perfect choice of name for a local aircraft.

Both the winning name and the local meaning of that name are now featured on one of Aer Arann’s ATR type aircraft and can regularly be seen by passengers as it passes through Ireland-West airport.

Ms. Tarpey was given the opportunity to see her chosen name up close on the Aer Arann aircraft at a dedicated photoshoot this week to mark the occasion.

Aer Arann offers daily flights direct from Ireland-West Airport to Dublin.

Check out www.AerArann.com. for all further information on Aer Arann routes and services including free airport check in, free baggage allowance up to 15kg, free online check in for carry on luggage and more!

Choosing the latest winner of the Aer Arann/Isle of Man airport business card draw is Chief Executive Paul Schutz, assisted by cabin crew attendant Celine Cusack. The winner of the latest draw is Mr. Peter M. Van Veen of Rhesus Medical, who wins a pair of return flights from the Isle of Man to London City with Aer Arann.

Monday February 1st 2010: Aer Arann has marked the first birthday of its Isle of Man-London City service.

Pictured at the first birthday celebration of Aer Arann’s Isle of Man – London City service at Ronaldsway airport were Brian Johnson, Civil Aviation Director; Minister for Transport David Andersson, Kerry Crozier, Aer Arann, Carol Kelly, Aer Arann, Andrew Kelly, Corporate Affairs Director, Aer Arann and Steve Dawson, department of Tourism.

Since its launch the route has provided a crucial business and leisure link between the Isle of Man and the UK capital; in particular connecting the two financial service centres on the Island and in the City.

The airline made history a year ago by becoming the first airline to become certified to operate the ATR 72-500 series aircraft into London City Airport having worked with the CAA, ATR and London City airport to obtain the required steep approach certification for the modern, quiet and environmentally friendly turbo prop.

Commenting on the anniversary, Aer Arann Corporate Affairs Director Andrew Kelly said “We are delighted with the success of the Isle of Man – London City route in its first year. It is a quality service offering business and leisure customers a convenient, friendly and most importantly a value for money service”.

“In order to operate the route we had to adapt our business model and our success in doing this is reflected in the fact that we carried 60,000 passengers in our first year. We now have 30% of the total Isle of Man to London market” he added.

“We look forward to welcoming new and existing passengers on board our flights in the year ahead and to making this one of the busiest and most successful routes in our network,” he concluded.

The Isle of Man – London City route has offered excellent access opportunities for the business community and also very convenient travel times for leisure travellers. Aer Arann regards it as an example of the airline's commitment to regional air travel and its focus on building business by offering critical links and access to major centres from regional airports.

As well as its London City service, the airline also operates a daily service from the Isle of Man to Dublin offering access to its Irish domestic network and connectivity to major international destinations. It recently introduced an Isle of Man – Paris rotation which will operate weekly throughout February 2010. For further information visit www.AerArann.com
