Etihad Airways has significantly expanded its UK network with double daily flights from Manchester starting 30 September 2025. This higher frequency delivers greater choice and flexibility between the UK’s Capital of the North and Abu Dhabi, responding to increasing customer demand.

With this in mind, the schedule is carefully designed to maximise convenience for both business and leisure travellers. Additionally, this will give travellers more frequency and connectivity to our network including the far East, Australasia, Indian subcontinent, and Africa.

With Abu Dhabi being a dynamic hub for business and innovation while offering a unique environment that fosters growth and collaboration, this new route frequency enhances connectivity between the UK and the United Arab Emirates, facilitating trade and tourism opportunities in the region.

• Extended summer 2026 transatlantic schedule includes a third daily flight from Dublin to both New
York JFK and Boston

• More flights to music city Nashville and motorsport hotspot Indianapolis to take off in summer 2026
• Services to Orlando from Dublin to operate daily next summer
• New route connects the cities of Raleigh and Durham to Ireland for the first time

Dear Travel Agent,
Aer Lingus has today announced its largest ever transatlantic summer schedule for 2026 as well as further
expansion of its long-haul network with the introduction of a new direct service from Dublin to RaleighDurham International Airport, North Carolina, next year.
Transatlantic growth

Aer Lingus has significantly grown its transatlantic network with the addition of ten new routes in the past
four years. As well as new routes, Aer Lingus has added additional capacity to many existing routes and for
summer 2026, operating its largest transatlantic schedule to date in response to demand and market
opportunities.

For summer 2026 Aer Lingus is introducing third daily flights from Dublin to both New York JFK and
Boston. The additional flights will have a late evening departure from Dublin and late-night departures from
New York and Boston, allowing customers to make the most of their days on both ends of the trip.

Aer Lingus’ popular new routes from Dublin to Nashville and Indianapolis, which launched earlier this year,
will both see frequency increased from four weekly flights to five next summer, and Dublin to Orlando will
increase to daily flights in peak summer season.
Aer Lingus services from Shannon to Boston will also increase by three weekly flights to ten in peak
summer.

Next stop, North Carolina
Aer Lingus has also announced further expansion of its long-haul network with the introduction of a direct
service from Dublin to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, North Carolina.
Taking off in April 2026, the new route will bring the total number of routes Aer Lingus operate to North
America to twenty-six. The continued growth of the airline’s North American network is part of its Dublin
Hub strategy, providing a central gateway between North America, Ireland, the UK and Europe.

The service will connect the cities of Raleigh and Durham directly to Ireland for the first time and serve the
wider State of North Carolina, with its population of over 11 million, with greater links to Ireland. The yearround route will operate up to five times weekly on Aer Lingus’ new Airbus A321 XLR aircraft. Ireland and
North Carolina share deep economic, financial and educational connections as well as shared heritage, with
significant foundations in early Scots-Irish migration.
