Aer Lingus and partner Emerald Airlines have outlined details of their new Aer Lingus Regional business.

Emerald Airlines will operate over 340 flights per week across 11 routes with fares starting at £25.99.

Tickets are now on sale.

High-frequency routes, including Dublin-Edinburgh and Dublin-Glasgow, will be served up to four times daily.

The announcement sees the re-establishment of services to regional points across the UK including Newquay Cornwall, Exeter, and Isle of Man.

Emerald Airlines will be the only airline offering these services from Ireland.

The announcement adds over 60 UK – US routes on the Aer Lingus network connecting via Dublin including connections from UK regional airports to New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Seattle.

Lynne Embleton, Aer Lingus CEO, said: "Today is about opportunities. Opportunities for our UK customers to connect with ease to Aer Lingus flights to North America and to take advantage of the US preclearance facility.

"Also opportunities for customers across UK and Ireland as we develop the Aer Lingus regional network."

It marks a big boost for connectivity from Ireland to the UK, including cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds and the Isle of Man.

Conor McCarthy, Emerald Airlines CEO, said: "We’re delighted to be able to commence operations under our franchise agreement well ahead of plan in line with the recovering customer demand."

Emerald has also established a business in Northern Ireland (Emerald Airlines UK Ltd) and has applied to the UK CAA for a UK AOC and Operating Licence.

Emerald Airlines is continuing with the expansion of its fleet of ATR72-600s.
