Aer Lingus launch Liverpool route
Aer Lingus
Passengers can now check in at Liverpool for New York
Irish airline Aer Lingus is to fly from Liverpool to Dublin after a break of 14 years, it has been announced.

The state airline stopped the flights in 1990, two years after Ryanair began flying the route.

Aer Lingus was one of the first airlines to operate from Liverpool, with its first route to Dublin in 1936.

The renewed service means passengers will be able to check in at Liverpool John Lennon Airport to fly to New York, as the airline flies from Dublin.

The daily flights will start at the end of October.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport's directors say it is good news for them, and they hope the route will attract even more international visitors.
