Aer Lingus has completed its inaugural service to Cleveland, Ohio, its first new transatlantic flight route since 2019.
Aer Lingus is the only airline to fly between Europe and Cleveland.
Customer demand is robust with more than 90% of seats booked across the peak summer season.
Overall, general transatlantic flight bookings are up more than 20% on 2019 levels this summer.
The new service operates four times a week from Dublin.
Aer Lingus now flies 19 transatlantic routes.
Lynne Embleton, CEO, Aer Lingus, said: “The addition of the new Cleveland route is a further demonstration of Aer Lingus’ commitment to develop Dublin as a hub.”
“We are seeing a 20% increase in transatlantic bookings, a strong indicator of the demand amongst US passengers for travel to Ireland and Europe.”
The Cleveland route is flown on fuel efficient Airbus A321neoLRs.
