“We expect it to be a route in high demand by passengers from the region, whether they are traveling for leisure, business or to attend major sporting events, as is the case this fall with Ireland’s participation in the Rugby World Cup,” Embleton added.
In addition to its operations between Shannon and Paris, the airline also offers four daily flights between Dublin and the French capital operated by Airbus A320 aircraft.
