New Aer Lingus route will compete with US airline
Aer Lingus is likely to go head-to-head with one of the US airlines operating out of Dublin when it launches its latest route from Dublin airport next year. The airline is due to announce details of its 2018 summer schedule and an extra transatlantic route this week. Travel industry sources believe that Aer Lingus is planning to launch on a route already served by one of its US rivals, with Philadelphia named as a likely destination, along with Charlotte, North Carolina or possibly Atlanta. American Airlines already serves both Philadelphia and Charlotte, while Delta serves Atlanta. Aer Lingus has been growing its transatlantic business with the backing of IAG, which bought the company in 2015. The following year, it began 3 services, Los Angeles, Newark, New Jersey and Hartford, Connecticut. It began serving Miami, Florida this year. <br/>
