A new direct route from Shannon Airport to Frankfurt, operated by Discover Airlines, will take off for the first time this Saturday April 25.
Discover Airlines is a Lufthansa Group subsidiary and the new Shannon servuce will run weekly until October 24.
Frankfurt is one of Europe's most connected hubs and passengers can avail of extensive onward connections to destinations across Europe and beyond to Asia, Africa and the Americas.
Niall Kearns, Airport Director of Shannon Airport, said the airport is excited to welcome its first Frankfurt bound passengers through Shannon on Saturday.
"This service opens up opportunities for both business travel and inbound tourism. Germany is a key market for Ireland, and having a direct link from a major European hub to the Wild Atlantic Way is a real advantage, helping to bring more visitors into the region and supporting local hotels, attractions, restaurants and businesses along the west coast," he added.
The service, which starts this Saturday, has a 12-noon departure from Shannon allowing for easy afternoon and evening transfers.
