About Aer Lingus

Aer Lingus, founded in 1936, is Ireland's flag carrier airline and has evolved into a leading European carrier. Originally established as a state-owned enterprise, the airline is now part of International Airlines Group (IAG) following its acquisition in 2015. Operating from its primary hub at Dublin Airport, Aer Lingus has strategically positioned itself as a value carrier bridging Europe and North America.

The airline currently operates a modern fleet of 53 aircraft, comprising primarily Airbus models including A320/A321neo for short-haul routes and A330-300s for transatlantic services. Their commitment to fleet modernization continues with orders for A321XLR aircraft, scheduled for delivery from 2024 onwards.

In recent years, Aer Lingus has garnered numerous accolades, including being recognized as Ireland's most reliable airline with an impressive on-time performance rate of 98.5% in 2023. The airline has also received recognition for its sustainability initiatives, having committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
