Aer Lingus announces Cleveland as latest transatlantic route for summer 2023

Aer Lingus is to launch a new transatlantic route for summer 2023 which will see the airline operate its first service to Cleveland in Ohio, with connections from nine UK airports.

The new North America service will operate four times a week.

The new Dublin-Cleveland service will utilise an Airbus A321neo LR, which the carrier took delivery of back in 2019, which is Aer Lingus’ most sustainable long-haul aircraft.

Reid Moody, Aer Lingus Chief Strategy & Planning Officer, said: “This is a significant announcement for Aer Lingus as we deliver on our ambition to grow our transatlantic network.

“The commencement of a new route, accompanied with further network connectivity, is an exciting milestone for the airline during a critical time of recovery for our business.

Dennis Kramer, Cleveland Hopkins Airport Interim Airport Director, said: “Aer Lingus is an award-winning airline that continues to grow with new destinations across the globe.

“We are truly excited for the opportunity to have nonstop service for travellers to connect to Ireland and the many other European destinations. Our team has worked for years to bring this route to Cleveland for our community.”
