Aircoach announced as official travel partner for Derry Halloween 2024
3rd Oct 2024
We are delighted to announce that we have become the official travel partner for Derry Halloween Festival 2024!
Organised by Derry City and Strabane District Council, this year’s Derry Halloween Festival runs from 28th – 31 October. Known as Europe’s largest Halloween Festival, we will help transport some of the thousands of visitors from outside Northern Ireland being increasingly drawn to the event in specially branded 'Scarecoaches' on our 705X route.
We will also provide a dedicated 'Scarecoach' shuttle service to transport festival goers from community groups into the Derry City Centre ahead of the main ‘Carnival of the Dead’ parade on Halloween night.
Speaking about the new partnership, Kim Swan, Managing Director of Aircoach, said: “As a company committed to enhancing connectivity for the NW region, Aircoach understands the significant cultural and economic impact Derry Halloween has on the local community. We’re very proud to be the official travel partner of such a world-renowned event and are excited to be playing a part in helping to promote the city as a premier cultural destination to people arriving on the island and across it.
“With stops in Dublin City Centre, Dublin Airport, and Belfast International and Dublin Airports, Aircoach is perfectly placed to provide Derry Halloween festivalgoers, from home and abroad, with fast, reliable, comfortable, and direct travel to and from all of the week’s fantastic events on our specially branded Scarecoaches.
“Like our partners in Derry City and Strabane District Council, we are deeply committed to serving the Northwest region and to sustainable travel. We’re also passionate about supporting the communities we serve, particularly in the arts and cultural sectors. We’re delighted we can play a part in providing community transport for the main parade, and in encouraging and enabling more visitors to leave their cars at home and enjoy the hospitality and entertainment on offer as part of Derry Halloween.”
Welcoming today’s announcement, Mayor of Derry and Strabane, Councillor Lilian Seenoi Barr, said: “I am delighted that Aircoach will be supporting Derry Halloween this year as our official travel partner. As one of our flagship festivals we are expecting thousands of international visitors, so connectivity is extremely important for the success of the event. We want our visitors to have the very best experience while they are here, so stress-free and convenient travel is essential as part of that package. Aircoach are already providing an excellent service throughout the country, which will be of great benefit to our festival goers, so we are delighted to have them on board this year.”
