What’s New With Aer Lingus
As well as further expansion of its long-haul network with the introduction of a new direct service from Dublin to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, North Carolina, next year, Cancun starts on 6th Jan 2026. Aer Lingus has significantly grown its transatlantic operations with additional frequencies. For summer 2026, Aer Lingus is introducing third daily flights from Dublin to both New York JFK and Boston. The additional flights will have a late evening departure from Dublin and late-night departures from New York and Boston, allowing customers to make the most of their days on both ends of the trip.
Aer Lingus’ popular new routes from Dublin to Nashville and Indianapolis, which launched earlier this year, will both see frequency increased from four weekly flights to five next summer, and Dublin to Orlando will increase to daily flights in the peak summer season. Aer Lingus services from Shannon to Boston will also increase by three weekly flights to ten in peak summer.
Also, on Short Haul, Cork has seen new routes to Prague and Geneva, and Dublin added Tromso and Turin for more winter options!
