Aer Lingus delays launch of Manchester-US flights
Ongoing Covid-19 travel restrictions have forced Aer Lingus to delay the launch of flights from Manchester, in England, to the United States until December. The Irish airline planned to begin flights to New York JFK, Orlando in Florida, and Barbados from the British airport this autumn after regulators granted its UK subsidiary a licence. However, Aer Lingus said on Wednesday that it would delay the introduction of the two US services to December from their scheduled start of September 30. The carrier will begin New York flights on December 1st and Orlando on December 11. The Barbados service will begin as planned on October 20. Aer Lingus blamed the delay on restrictions on travel into the US, which continues to bar travellers on nonessential journeys from Europe.<br/>
