The service from Dublin, starting 13 April 2026, will be the airline’s 26th North American route. Aer Lingus will operate the route five-times-a-week, reducing to four in winter, using a narrow-body Airbus A321XLR. Fares lead in from €299 one way.
Lynne Embleton, Aer Lingus chief executive, said Raleigh-Durham was “a vibrant and thriving region with well-established links to Ireland". Raleigh-Durham airport saw a total of 15.5 million passengers last year.
