Inverness to Dublin dropped by Aer Arann
July 24, 2008Aer Arann has said it will suspend its service between Inverness and Dublin due to the rising cost of oil.
The BBC reports that the airline has taken the decision to end the route in September, which provided three flights a week, and will make a decision later on whether to bring it back next spring.
The operator of Inverness Airport, the Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd, said it was not surprised by Aer Arann's decision especially in light of increased cost of fuel and the general downturn in the economy.
Inverness has seen a similar number of passengers passing through the airport this summer when compared to last year, but expects demand to fall this winter and flight frequency to drop.
