Aer Lingus and Aer Lingus Regional have announced extra flights to Ireland’s key away fixtures in this year’s Six Nations Championship.
Additional flights from Dublin to Cardiff, as well as from Cork Airport to Bristol, will accommodate those hoping to see Ireland triumph in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium for the Wales match. Fans can also easily travel from Dublin and Cork to Edinburgh for the Scotland game.
Aer Lingus – which is the official airline of the IRFU – has also added brand new direct flights from Cork Airport to Rome. These flights will operate on March 14 and March 16 for those who are heading to see the action in the Stadio Olimpico, when Ireland visit the Eternal City to take on Italy.
2025 marks the tenth year of Aer Lingus’ partnership with the IRFU, with the airline flying both the men’s and women’s teams to their Guinness Men’s and Women’s Six Nations away games, as well as supporting both teams’ travel to other tournaments.
Aer Lingus’ IRFU men’s ambassadors for 2025 are Ireland captain Caelan Doris, Josh van der Flier, Tadhg Furlong, and Robbie Henshaw, who was in Dublin Airport this week to meet with Aer Lingus staff and cabin crew ahead of the Ireland’s 2025 Guinness Men’s Six Nations kick-off on February 1st at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, against England.
Robbie Henshaw, Aer Lingus ambassador and Ireland player, said: “The Ireland supporters are truly incredible, and we deeply appreciate their unwavering support both at home and away. As we approach the 2025 Guinness Men’s Six Nations, we are thrilled to once again have the backing of Aer Lingus. Their exceptional hospitality and efforts to make us feel comfortable before our games are invaluable.”
Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus Chief Customer Officer, said: “Ireland rugby fans are expected to travel in their thousands to support the Ireland men’s team in one of this year’s most exciting sporting events. At Aer Lingus, we are proud say ‘You’re very welcome’ to the team’s dedicated supporters who bring #HomeAdvantage to the team’s away games. As we enter the tenth year of our partnership with the IRFU, we wish the team, management, coaches and our ambassadors Caelan, Robbie, Tadhg and Josh the best of luck and we look forward to welcoming them onboard.”
