The increased frequency to Paris Charles de Gaulle will offer passengers even more flexibility when travelling to the French capital for business or leisure
THE Shannon Airport Group has welcomed the announcement by Aer Lingus that is is to increase its service from Shannon Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle, from May.
The new Tuesday service will depart Shannon at 7.10am, aligning with the existing Aer Lingus flights to Paris on Thursdays and Sundays.
The increased frequency will offer passengers even more flexibility when travelling to the French capital for business or leisure, as well as improved options for onward connections.
The additional service, which will operate from May 5 to October 20, further enhances Aer Lingus’ growing presence at Shannon.

The announcement follows last year’s positive news that the airline will boost its Shannon–Boston schedule from three to ten flights per week during the peak summer season.
Welcoming the announcement, Ray O’Driscoll, Interim CEO of The Shannon Airport Group, said: “We are delighted with Aer Lingus’ decision to increase frequency on the Shannon to Paris route. This enhancement is a significant boost for the region, strengthening our international connectivity and supporting the growing demand we have seen since the service launched in September 2024.
"The additional weekly flight will not only offer greater choice for business and leisure passengers travelling to the French capital but will also open up more opportunities for visitors from France to experience the Wild Atlantic Way and all that our region has to offer."
Mr O'Driscoll added: "Aer Lingus continues to play a vital role in connecting the Mid‑West via its existing services from Shannon to New York, Boston, London Heathrow, and now an expanded European schedule. We warmly welcome this latest investment, which further strengthens Shannon’s position as a key international gateway.”
The inaugural Aer Lingus flight from Shannon to Paris took off in September 2024, with its schedule designed to also facilitate inbound, onward connections from Shannon to New York JFK and Boston with Aer Lingus.
From May to October, EI-908 will depart Shannon at 7.10am on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with the return service arriving back at midday.
