With Dublin’s geographic position as the gateway to Europe, pre-clearance facilities at the airport and the strong, long established Irish American ties, Aer Lingus is ideally placed to connect people and places across the Atlantic. Denver and Minneapolis-St Paul are significant business destinations within the US and the new Aer Lingus routes facilitate corporate links and connectivity between Europe and North America, through our Dublin Hub. Denver’s position as the ‘Gateway to the Rockies’ and its outdoor appeal, from world class skiing to hiking, opens up a whole new US experience to leisure travellers from Ireland and Europe.
said Lynne Embleton, Chief Executive Officer, Aer Lingus.
With this, Aer Lingus will now operate a total of 18 routes between Ireland and North America.
This summer has been our biggest yet, with 2.25 million seats to North America and the successful addition of Cleveland, Ohio to our network. We are confident in our growth strategy and look forward to welcoming customers onboard these two new routes next year.
added Lynne.
The carrier says that passengers travelling from Denver and Minneapolis-St. Paul will be able to enjoy easy connections to 20 European cities via Dublin.
Meanwhile, Aer Lingus recently launched flights to Cleveland, Ohio.
