Aer Lingus is set to launch a new route to the U.S. next spring.
The carrier will begin nonstop service between Dublin and Pittsburgh on May 25, 2026, the airport announced. Flights will operate four times weekly, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays with an Airbus A321neo aircraft. Tickets are now on sale.
Aer Lingus leaders said the route will help foster tourism while also benefiting Pittsburgh-area businesses with existing links to Ireland, including the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, BNY, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“Aer Lingus is particularly pleased to add Pittsburgh to our transatlantic network, having worked closely with partners in the region to make this a possibility,” Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus’ chief customer officer, said in a statement. “This route builds on our strong partnership with the Pittsburgh Steelers and further cements Aer Lingus’ position as a leading transatlantic carrier.”
The Steelers are owned by the Rooney family, who have longstanding ties to Ireland. The team played the first-ever NFL regular-season game in Dublin in September.
Aer Lingus currently has over 20 destinations in the U.S., including New York-JFK, Washington Dulles, Chicago O’Hare, and Los Angeles. In Pennsylvania, it also serves Philadelphia International Airport.
