Aer Lingus to open A321XLR route to Indianapolis

IAG’s Irish carrier, Aer Lingus, is to open a new Airbus A321XLR transatlantic service to the US city of Indianapolis next year. The carrier will fly four-times weekly from Dublin beginning 3 May. Aer Lingus, one of the first airlines set to introduce the long-range A321XLR, will operate the twinjet on the route. The Dublin-Indianapolis sector has a great-circle distance of around 3,200nm. Aer Lingus will configure the aircraft in two classes including 16 seats in the business cabin. The new route will operate almost year-round, with a “short break” between January and February, says the Indianapolis airport authority.<br/>
