Aer Lingus has announced that it will be expanding its summer schedule to introduce three new routes.

While many are worried about the near-term future of air travel due to the ongoing fuel crisis and the war in Iran, many airlines seem to have steadied the course, as they mostly buy their fuel in bulk months, and sometimes years, in advance.

While some routes have been cancelled due to the state of the world, anyone who’s looking to jet-set this summer will be delighted to know that Aer Lingus has announced three new routes heading from Ireland.

Two of those routes will be from Dublin, with one being to the Norwegian capital of Oslo, and the other going from the capital to Asturias in Northern Spain for those who want to head where the sun is.

Also, those who are looking to fly out of Cork will be delighted to hear that a route from Cork airport will set off to Nice in France.

All three routes will take off from Dublin and Cork on Saturday, May 2.

Aer Lingus also announced the introduction of three more short-haul routes from Dublin to Montpellier, France, which will begin on May 19, and from Cork to Santiago, which will begin on June 1.

As well as this, Aer Lingus has announced the return of its seasonal flight routes this summer, which include Pisa in Italy’s Tuscany region, Catania in Sicily, Nantes in France, and the ever-popular Greek islands of Santorini and Corfu.

A new Emerald Airlines flight route will also take off this summer to Inverness in Scotland from May 21, and Tours in France from June 6.

On its long-haul flights, Dublin to Denver will return for summer 2026 for those Broncos fans/outdoor enthusiasts who would like to see the Rocky Mountain region.

The airline is set to operate a total of 24 routes from Ireland to North America this year, when it adds Dublin to Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina, which took off earlier this month, and Dublin to Pittsburgh, taking off from May 25.

‘Aer Lingus is launching three new routes from Dublin and Cork this weekend, alongside the return of some of our most popular seasonal destinations,’ Reid Moody, Chief Strategy & Planning Officer, said.
