Flights promote Galway city and county on 6,300 airplanes coming into Ireland

A company established by a Galway man – making inflight videos for 29 global airlines – is doing his bit this New Year to bring tourists to his native county.

Martin O’Regan is the founder of InflightFlix International, which provides destination video guides to the airline industry.

They are to distribute its destination video guides promoting great Ireland experiences – including Galway city and county – to the inflight entertainment companies of all 6,300 airplanes with Inflight Entertainment that fly to Ireland.

The company will make its Wild Atlantic Drive and Dublin video guides available free of charge as inflight content to the airlines.

They say this will not only enhance the passenger experience on flights to Ireland but also inspire passengers using the airlines’ other routes worldwide to book a flight to Ireland.

“Providing these videos to airlines who collectively have 6,349 airplanes and fly 1.375 billion passengers annually is a unique opportunity to reach, engage and inspire a truly global audience to visit Ireland,” said Martin O’Regan.

“The Wild Atlantic Drive and Dublin video guides each showcase over 100 great things to do, places to go, stay, eat, drink and shop and each experience is featured for 30 seconds.

“The video guides are customised for each airline’s brand and airports can also use them on websites, emails and social media channels to market routes to Ireland,” he added.

Mr O’Regan said that he believed that this campaign would help counteract some of the negative impact of Brexit on tourism.
