Dublin Airport travel update as Aer Lingus ramp up flights over coming months

The parent company of Aer Lingus has confirmed that the airlines' flight schedule will begin to ramp up in the coming weeks.

IAG, the company that owns Aer Lingus, expects to operate at around 45% of capacity between the months of July and September.

It had previously been operating at less than one-quarter of flight capacity at 21.9% for the previous three months.

Dublin Airport recently revealed their summer flight schedule, with over 700 flights to the continent every week.

This includes 160 flights per week to Spain, 64 to Portugal and 69 flights to Italy, just a few of the destinations that you can go to from Dublin Airport.

All the routes that you can fly to from Dublin Airport can be found on dublinairport.com.

Chief executive Luis Gallego said: “In the short term, our focus is on ensuring our operational readiness, so we have the flexibility to capitalise on an environment where there’s evidence of widespread pent-up demand when travel restrictions are lifted.

“We know that recovery will be uneven, but we’re ready to take advantage of a surge in air travel demand in line with increasing vaccination rates."
