Aer Lingus

Aer Lingus is the flag carrier of Ireland founded by the Irish Government in 1936 that was privatized between 2006 and 2015 and it is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Airlines Group (IAG). The airline's head office is on the grounds of Dublin Airport in Cloghran, County Dublin.
 

It operates to over 107 destinations operating in the UK and Europe. Aer Lingus flies 16 direct routes to North America: New York (JFK), Newark/New Jersey, Boston, Washington DC, Hartford/Connecticut, Philadelphia, Orlando/Florida, Miami, Florida, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle
Minneapolis St. Paul, Toronto

Aer Lingus has codeshares with Oneworld, Star Alliance and SkyTeam members, as well as interline agreements with Etihad Airways, JetBlue Airways and United Airlines. 

The name “Aer Lingus” is derived from the Gaelic term “aer lounges” which means “air fleet.”
 

The new brand identity supports Aer Lingus’ ambition to be the leading value carrier across the North Atlantic.

Aer Lingus's new logo retains but restyles the iconic shamrock, adding a tilt to symbolise dynamism and speed, with heart-shaped leaves reflecting the warmth and hospitality of the brand.  
 

As of December 2024, Aer Lingus proudly operates a state-of-the-art fleet, entirely composed of Airbus aircraft, ensuring a comfortable and reliable journey. The commercial fleet includes 54 aircraft, with an exciting addition of 5 new orders:

• 3 Airbus A330-200s
• 10 Airbus A330-300s
• 27 Airbus A320-200s
• 6 Airbus A320neos (+1 ordered)
• 8 Airbus A321neos (+4 ordered)

With this modern fleet, Aer Lingus continues to deliver exceptional service and a smooth flying experience for every traveller.

The Irish carrier also has a cargo division providing freight transport within the UK, continental Europe, and the USA. Thanks to interline agreements with other companies (Stobart Air, Jetblue Airways, United Airlines), it offers many connections to Great Britain, the United States, and Canada.

Aer Lingus' slogan is "Smart flies Aer Lingus".
