Pittsburgh and further expansion into the US

The Dublin–Pittsburgh route will launch on May 25, 2026, and operate four times a week. Aer Lingus customers flying to North America can take advantage of US preclearance at Dublin Airport. This allows them to pass through US immigration comfortably during transfers and arrive in the US as domestic passengers. The flight will be operated with an Airbus A321neo LR, offering 184 seats – consisting of Economy seats and a Business Class cabin with 16 comfortable lie-flat seats.

Aer Lingus is launching its largest ever transatlantic flight schedule for 2026, including brand new routes to Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina and Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania..

• New routes for 2026: Pittsburgh and Raleigh-Durham.

• Expansion: Our popular routes from Dublin to Nashville and Indianapolis will be expanded from four to five weekly flights this summer, and Dublin–Orlando will operate daily during the peak season.

All destinations connect seamlessly to our flight schedule between Amsterdam and Dublin. Baggage is tagged through to the final destination, and at Dublin Airport, passengers benefit from a smooth transfer via a single terminal and go through US customs and immigration formalities during the transfer, so they arrive in the US as domestic passengers.
