The first official Aer Lingus Regional flight, operated by Aer Arann, took to the skies from Isle of Man Airport to Dublin yesterday (Sunday, 25th March 2012).

Pictured launching the first Aer Lingus Regional flights from Isle of Man Airport were (from left) Aer Arann’s Marketing Manager Sinead Murphy and Isle of Man Airport Director Anne Reynolds with Aer Lingus Regional cabin crew member Kitty Dillon.

With the Aer Lingus Regional service, Isle of Man passengers will benefit from connectivity on all Aer Lingus flights through Dublin offering not only excellent access to major European destinations such as Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels and Rome but also transatlantic connectivity on Aer Lingus flights to New York, Boston, Chicago and Orlando.

Passengers will also benefit from US Customs and Immigrations pre-clearance facilities at Dublin Airport that will allow them to arrive in the US as domestic passengers, saving valuable time.

Flights to Dublin with Aer Lingus Regional are available for booking on www.aerlingus.com.
