Aer Lingus restarting flights to Hartford
Aer Lingus will restart its daily service to Hartford, Connecticut, direct from Dublin, as the airline continues to rebuild its transatlantic network.
This follows the recent announcement of new flights to Cleveland, Ohio, which will be part of its summer 2023 schedule.
Hartford marks Aer Lingus’ 16th transatlantic route from Ireland and the 19th from the UK.
The daily service will resume from 26 March next year with Bradley International Airport’s only direct service to Europe.
UK customers can fly to Hartford by connecting via Dublin from 11 UK airports.
Lynne Embleton, Aer Lingus Chief Executive, said: “We are opening up key cities and regions in the United States to Irish, UK and European customers, by adding new transatlantic routes to the Aer Lingus schedule.”
The Dublin-Hartford service will be operated by an Airbus A321neo.
Kevin A. Dillon, A.A.E., Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director, said: “The resumption of the Aer Lingus route has been a major priority in our recovery strategy.”
“We look forward to rebuilding the service, continuing the strong momentum it had prior to the onset of the pandemic.”
