BRA increases capacity on Manchester-Shannon route

BRITISH Regional Airlines is to increase capacity on its services between Manchester and Shannon because of increased demand from business travellers.

From July 1 the airline, a British Airways franchise, will use a 49 seat Embraer 145 regional jet on the route instead of a 29 seat Jetstream 41 turbo prop. Flights operate twice each weekday with one flight a day at the weekends.
