Emerald and Aer Lingus

Aer Lingus has confirmed that tickets are now on sale for a range of franchised services operated by Emerald Airlines with bases at Dublin and Belfast airports.  

Flights will commence on 17 March.  They were not due to start until January 2023, Emerald winning the business in June 2021 from Stobart Air, which subsequently collapsed.  All services will be flown by ATR 72-600 turboprops.

As Aer Lingus Regional, Emerald Airlines will operate over 340 flights per week.  High-frequency routes, including Dublin – Edinburgh and Dublin – Glasgow, will be served up to four times daily.  At Dublin, UK regional airports will connect to 11 North American destinations.

With plans to expand Aer Lingus Regional at George Best Belfast City Airport Emerald has applied for a UK Air Operator Certificate (AOC) as a British airline.
