In The News Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 DALLAS – For the summer of 2023, Aer Lingus (EI) will launch its first direct flight from Dublin International Airport (DUB) to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), Ohio, US. Aer Lingus will operate the new service using a brand-new Airbus A321neo and the airline will fly the route four times per week beginning on May 19. The new route will be EI’s 15th transatlantic trip from Ireland following the pandemic hiatus, following restoring its route network. Additionally, the airline operates three long-haul flights from Manchester (MAN) to Barbados, New York (JFK), and Orlando (MCO). According to the airline, the new route will be the only direct service to Europe from Cleveland, supporting the expansion of DUB as its transatlantic base. Just as passengers flying to and from Ireland, US-based travelers will be able to connect through DUB to European cities and use the airport’s US Preclearance facilities. It’s official — @AerLingus will now be offering nonstop flights from Cleveland to Dublin and connections to 20 other popular European destinations. It must be the luck of the Irish! pic.twitter.com/ZBEZUKjJQw— Mayor Justin M.
