Irish Citylink celebrate the launch of the new coaches and service

Irish Citylink has launched a new Airport Direct coach service between Galway and Dublin Airport.

Operating under a newly launched brand, eireagle.com, the services bypass Dublin City and deliver time savings for travellers of up to 30 minutes on journeys between Dublin Airport and Galway Coach Station and 15 minutes on journeys in the opposite direction.

The eight daily eireagle.com trips are in addition to Irish Citylink’s existing Express services between Galway and Dublin City & Airport.

The eireagle.com services are operated by a fleet of luxury Van Hool TX16s which provide passengers with free WiFi, air conditioning, reclining seats and spacious legroom.

“These new services shorten journeys between Galway and Dublin Airport to just two and a half hours,” explained David Conway, Business Operations Manager at Irish Citylink. “Coaches run between Galway and Dublin Airport using the M6 and M50 motorways and do not go through Dublin City, offering a more comfortable, direct and quicker journey time.”
