Summary Aer Lingus has record US/Canada flights this year. It has 20 US routes from Dublin, Manchester, and Shannon, including Las Vegas, which starts soon. Perhaps surprisingly, it has only one Canadian route.
Aer Lingus has 21 routes between August and December 2024 . Additions include the brand-new Dublin-Las Vegas , beginning on October 25, with Sin City being the Irish capital's largest unserved North American market. Then there's Dublin-Minneapolis (which returned in April), the first-ever Dublin-Denver flights (which began in May), and Dublin-Cleveland (which started in May 2023).
These are the largest carriers and the airlines that have expanded the most. US/Canada network: August-December Examining schedules supplied by the carrier to Cirium indicates the following transatlantic routes. Unsurprisingly, the US and Canada (and Barbados from Manchester) are Aer Lingus' only long-haul markets.
However, it flew from Dublin to Dubai between 2006 and 2008. Notice that seven routes are exclusively on the 184-seat A321LR. Other airport pairs, including Dublin to JFK and Toronto, will only see the narrowbody in the winter.
This enables Aer Lingus to right-size capacity with demand to improve loads, yields, and performance while maintaining the same frequency. At the same time, the A330 that would operate can be redeployed to more profitable winter endeavors. Dublin-Boston : double daily A330-300 Dublin-Chicago O'Hare : double daily A330-300/A330-200 Dublin-Cleveland : four wee.
