Emerald Airlines wins Dublin-Donegal route
Aer Lingus regional operator Emerald Airlines will take over the State-supported Dublin-Donegal air service from next month. Scandinavian carrier Amapola Flyg has been flying the route under a stop-gap arrangement with the Government since July after previous operator Stobart Air collapsed in June. The Department of Transport has awarded a three-year contract to Emerald Airlines after putting the route out to tender across the EU in August. Emerald, run by well-known aviation figure Conor McCarthy, will launch its Dublin-Donegal service from February 26th, the day after Amapola’s contract ends, ensuring there will be no break between two. The airline will fly a 72-seat ATR aircraft twice daily each way between the two airports.<br/>
