Aer Lingus inaugurated its non-stop flights between Dublin and Denver, the Irish airline’s second inaugural route this year after Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Flight EI 59 was operated on an Airbus A330 registered as “EI-DUO” and christened “St. Columba.” The aircraft took off from Dublin Airport on May 16 at 15:48 local time and landed at Denver International Airport at 18:08, after nine hours and 20 minutes.
“We are delighted to launch our route to Denver today, another important milestone for Aer Lingus in driving our North American expansion. The new service is also of great importance to the Denver region, as Aer Lingus is the only European airline to fly non-stop to Ireland and offers convenient connections to the UK and Europe through our hub at Dublin Airport,” said Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus’ Chief Customer Officer.
