Aer Lingus launching Cleveland flights
Aer Lingus is launching to new US destination for summer 2023 – Cleveland, Ohio,
Starting on 19 May 2023, the new North America service will operate four times a week.
This will be Aer Lingus’ 15th transatlantic route from Ireland and the only direct European service to Cleveland.
UK customers will be able to connect on onto Aer Lingus’ Cleveland service via Dublin from nine UK airports, including London Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol, Southampton, and Leeds Bradford.
Flying via Dublin, UK customers also benefit from US Immigration pre-clearance, which allows them to arrive into the US like a domestic passenger, avoiding long immigration queues.
Travellers from Cleveland will benefit from a direct connection to Ireland and onward connections to more than 20 key European cities – including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Brussels, and Edinburgh.
Reid Moody, Aer Lingus Chief Strategy & Planning Officer, said: “This is a significant announcement for Aer Lingus as we deliver on our ambition to grow our transatlantic network.”
“The commencement of a new route, accompanied with further network connectivity, is an exciting milestone for the airline during a critical time of recovery.”
Dennis Kramer, Cleveland Hopkins Airport Interim Airport Director, said: “We are truly excited for the opportunity to have nonstop service for travellers to connect to Ireland and many other European destinations. Our team has worked for years to bring this route to Cleveland for our community.”
The new Dublin-Cleveland service will be served by an Airbus A321neo LR aircraft.
It comprises both Business Cabin and Economy Class cabin.
Cleveland is known as the birthplace of rock and roll, for its vibrant art and culture scene and its picturesque parklands.
Popular Cleveland attractions include the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Playhouse Square, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
