Speaking at the opening day of the two-day Shannon Airport and Shannon Development "Irish Business Aviation Convention" at Dromoland Castle Hotel, Aoife O'Sullivan, partner with Europe's largest aviation specialist legal firm Gates and Partners, said that Shannon has a golden opportunity to become an international crossroads for business aviation.
