This May, Aer Lingus begins a new direct gateway to Europe via Pittsburgh (PIT). The flight will operate four times a week via the airline’s 184-seat Airbus A321neo LR, linking the Pennsylvania city to Dublin, Ireland (DUB).

The aircraft offers dual-class seats, including 16 business-class seats with lie-flat seating. All passengers receive complimentary meals and refreshments, as well as an extensive in-flight entertainment offering. The service officially launches May 25, flying Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Additionally, Aer Lingus customers flying to North America can take advantage of Dublin Airport’s U.S. Pre-Clearance facility, allowing them to conveniently clear U.S. immigration before Dublin and arrive in the United States as domestic passengers.

“The Pittsburgh region’s connections to Ireland run deep – both in today’s strong business market and ancestral ties – and this is a route that community leaders have been seeking,” said Christina Cassotis, CEO, Pittsburgh International Airport. “We are thrilled to have a partner in Aer Lingus that will serve Pittsburgh’s growing market for nonstop service to Ireland and beyond, and we look forward to welcoming even more European travelers to Pittsburgh.”
