Aer Lingus today announced its 2018 summer schedule which features a brand new North American gateway – Philadelphia - operating four times per week from the airlines’ hub in Dublin.
The latest route expansion comes on the back of IAG investment in new aircraft, with Aer Lingus taking delivery of four new long haul planes in the last 24 months, enabling the introduction of four new transatlantic routes; Los Angeles, Newark, Hartford, Miami and now Philadelphia.
Summer 2018 will mark the airline’s largest ever long haul programme with 177,000 additional seats across the Atlantic over the summer season.
Aer Lingus’ total capacity to and from North America for 2018 will reach 2.75 million seats.
Additional transatlantic expansion includes a daily service to both San Francisco and Los Angeles on the US west coast as well as twice daily flights to Chicago.
