AER LINGUS has confirmed that it is in discussion with the Irish regional operator Aer Arann regarding franchise arrangements on routes between Ireland and the UK. This could dovetail in very nicely for both carriers with passengers able to use alternative airports for their return journey. In another move the carrier has come to an arrangement with United Airlines for Aer Lingus aircraft and crews to operate a Madrid – Washington daily code share route with an Airbus A330 from the start of the summer season. Aer Lingus already flies to Madrid from Dublin on a daily basis. www.aerlingus.com
