Aer Lingus eyes up to 10 new Dublin-US routes
Aer Lingus is eyeing up to 10 US cities as possible new destinations from Dublin, according to IAG CE Willie Walsh. Operating profits at IAG rose more than 20% to E1.45b for the 9 months to Sept 30th, 2017, up from E1.2b during the same period last year. Walsh said that Aer Lingus’s planned purchase of eight Airbus A321 Long Range craft opened the possibility of it serving 10 new cities in the US within 5 years. “It is unlikely that we would operate to all 10, some would be competing with each other, but we are out there talking to airports that could be served,” Walsh said. He added that US airports frequently approached him saying they “would love to see” Aer Lingus and Level, IAG’s new long-haul airline, flying there. <br/>
