The airline has increased seat capacity on its Manchester to New York services as the route now operates on an Airbus A330 for the first time in the company’s history.
Seat capacity will increase by 72% over the summer thanks to the larger twin-aisled Airbus A330 taking over. The move follows just over a year after the airline began its very first direct transatlantic flights to New York.
The route’s original Airbus A321LR will now be used on Aer Lingus’ direct routes from Dublin, including to Hartford, which launched last month, and to Cleveland, which will take off in May.
Aer Lingus customers can now choose from 270,000 seats on sale from Manchester to the US in the airline’s biggest summer schedule to date, with flights will take off daily to New York JFK and Orlando.
