Kerry Airport has announced three new services to France from the end of June with the Chalair airline.
The new destinations from Kerry are to Brest in Brittany, Caen in Normandy and Pau near the Pyrénées will bring to 10 the number of routes that will be on offer for the summer months.
Kerry Airport already serves Alicante, Faro, Dublin, London (Luton and Stansted), Manchester and Frankfurt Hahn with Ryanair.
Such was the success of last summer's weekly service to Brittany, Chalair said it decided to introduce flights to two more regions in France from Kerry.
The new French services include 13 weekly flights between Kerry and Brest in Brittany and Caen in Normandy and 10 weekly flights to Pau near the Pyrénées until early and late September respectively.
Kerry Airport CEO John Mulhern said Chalair has decided to operate a weekly service to France again this summer and with that, the introduction of three routes in Brittany, Normandy and The Pyrénées.
"It was important that flights returned in light of the positive feedback from passengers who travelled between Kerry and France last year and the potential that exists to develop the routes further. We're expecting lots of French visitors to come to Kerry to explore the Kingdom and realise that this is an extraordinary oasis here in the southwest of Ireland," Mr Mulhern added.
Chalair's CEO Alain Battisti said the airline was proud to expand its flight links with Kerry this summer.
"We were overwhelmed by the positive feedback from our passengers who visited Kerry in 2023. This influenced our decision to resume the French connection and to increase the destination offerings to three in 2024," the CEO said.
