Ireland West Airport Announces New Summer Service to the Netherlands
Ireland West Airport is set to make waves in the aviation sector with the announcement of a new summer service to the Netherlands. Starting in June 2025, Emerald Airlines will operate a weekly flight to Groningen every Saturday for a duration of 13 weeks. This exciting development is part of the airport's ongoing efforts to expand its route offerings and enhance connectivity for travelers in the West and Northwest of Ireland.
A Record-Breaking Year Ahead
This new route comes as Ireland West Airport prepares for what is projected to be its busiest year yet, with forecasts indicating that over 830,000 passengers are expected to pass through its terminals in 2024. This marks a significant milestone for the airport, reflecting a strong recovery in air travel and increasing demand for international routes.
Donal Healy, the Head of Marketing at Ireland West Airport, expressed enthusiasm about the new service, highlighting its importance for both leisure and business travellers. In a recent conversation with Darragh O'Connor Healy emphasized that the addition of the Groningen route not only broadens travel options for passengers but also strengthens the airport's position as a key gateway for those wishing to explore the Netherlands and beyond.
