UUP Leader comments on latest in on-going Aer Lingus Saga
Commenting on the on-going rows concerning the Aer Lingus’ decision to move operations from Shannon to Belfast, Ulster Unionist Party Leader Sir Reg Empey said,
“Last week there was considerable euphoria here when Aer Lingus announced the establishment of a base at Belfast International Airport, promising at least 100 new jobs.’
What a difference a few days can make. The airline is now besieged on all sides, threatened by strike action, shareholder meetings, attacked by some of the biggest names in corporate Ireland and forced to provide a skeleton service with help from other airlines.
This all goes to prove that all politics is local, and business interests are not far behind!”.
