The seasonal route to Bridgetown from Dublin will run from 31 March to 31 May, offering Irish customers a direct connection to the Caribbean for a limited time.
The direct flight is being introduced primarily to accommodate Manchester passengers flying to Barbados, while also opening up direct access to Barbados for the wider Irish market during this period. After much speculation and uncertainty, Aer Lingus confirmed in January it would stop operating transatlantic flights from Manchester airport.
