Never one to miss an opportunity to criticise his competitors and turn favour in his direction, Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary turned up at Shannon Airport yesterday to see off the last scheduled Aer Lingus flight to Heathrow.
Wearing a Munster shirt, O'Leary gave all those boarding the flight a free ticket to fly with his airline from Shannon to London.
Not everyone was as happy as the Ryanair boss to see the end of the Aer Lingus-Heathrow route.
Mayor of Clare Patricia McCarthy described it as a "black day" for the region.
