Aer Lingus postpones launch of Dublin-Montreal route

Aer Lingus is postponing the launch of its planned Dublin to Montreal service until next year because new aircraft the carrier has ordered will not be ready on time. The Irish airline was due to begin flying from to Montreal on August 8th this year, the second of two new transatlantic routes it planned on launching over the summer. Aer Lingus said Monday that a delay in new aircraft deliveries had forced it to postpone the launch of the Montreal route until summer 2020, a year after it was scheduled to begin. Similarly, it will cut frequencies on the other new route it is planning, from Dublin to Minneapolis St Paul, as well as on services from the capital to Philadelphia and Hartford, Connecticut and on its Shannon to JFK Airport, New York.<br/>
