Seasonal routes from Dublin to Pisa in Italy’s Tuscany region, Catania in Sicily, Nantes in France, and the Greek islands of Santorini and Corfu also return, offering Aer Lingus customers a wide range of options for summer getaways.

On its long-haul network, the airline’s Dublin-Denver service is also back for summer 2026, offering direct flights to the ‘Mile High City’. Situated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is growing in popularity with outdoor enthusiasts keen to explore the spectacular scenery, hiking, and outdoor activities.


Aer Lingus will also introduce a further two new short-haul services this summer from Dublin to Montpellier, from 19 May 2026, and from Cork to Santiago, from 1 June 2026. For those hoping to explore the Scottish Highlands, a new Aer Lingus Regional flight, operated by Emerald Airlines, will also begin service to Inverness from 21 May 2026, while a new route to Tours in France will fly from 6 June.

Aer Lingus will operate a total of 24 routes from Ireland to North America in 2026, including two new routes to Raleigh-Durham, which took off earlier this month, and Pittsburgh, from 25 May 2026. These new routes build on the airline’s Dublin Hub strategy, which supports seamless connections between North America and the airline’s extensive European network.
