Services to Barbados will increase to twice daily from Heathrow

The Irish carrier will operate the route three times a week starting 1 November. Return fares lead in from £498pp.

Aer Lingus has in recent years increased its focus on long-haul operations at Manchester, expanding its Orlando route to four-times-weekly and its New York service to daily.

It follows a 30% year-on-year uptick in demand for flights from Manchester from travellers in the Greater Manchester area and north of England.

In response, Aer Lingus has put extra capacity into the airport this year by replacing one of its single-aisle aircraft at Manchester with a second wide-body aircraft.
