Aer Lingus announces new transatlantic route from Ireland to Cleveland

Aer Lingus has announced on Wednesday a new transatlantic route for next summer, which will see the airline operate its first service to Cleveland directly from Dublin.

The route will begin operation on May 19, 2023 and will operate four times weekly. This will be Aer Lingus' 15th transatlantic route from Ireland and will be the only direct European service from Cleveland. 

The Dublin-Cleveland service will be operated by an Airbus A321neo LR, Aer Lingus' most sustainable long-haul aircraft.

The aircraft comprises both a business cabin and economy class cabin, delivers up to 20% reduction in fuel burn and CO2 emissions and close to 50% reduction in noise footprint when compared to previous generation aircraft.

"The new service to Cleveland not only provides a direct connection to Ireland, but connections to over 20 popular European destinations via our Dublin hub," said Aer Lingus Chief Strategy and Planning Officer, Reid Moody.

Next summer, Aer Lingus will operate 15 transatlantic routes between Ireland and North America and three long-haul services from its Manchester base in the UK.
