We want to help our passengers do business in London the easy way. We acknowledge that business travellers need a quick, hassle free and reliable service if they are to successfully conduct business while they are on the move. Business travel is an important market with specific needs which we are keen to deliver on. We have also identified other key markets that use our new service and we shall also be designing other promotions for them in the near future.”

Welcoming the new initiative, Robert Grealis, Chief Executive Officer, Ireland West Airport Knock said: ”The availability of quick, efficient, effective and convenient access to global markets is essential for the continuing development of the economy. The Airport understands the importance of supporting business in key markets such as London and the services offered by XL.com and other airlines are essential. Air travel for the business user and indeed for the Irish economy will continue to be an essential tool in growing enterprises and in remaining competitive in the global marketplace and it is welcomed that XL.com has acknowledged the importance of this market. We believe business users will find this added value service from XL.com a benefit to them and we hope that this may help in some small way in sustaining and growing employment in the region.”
