Aer Lingus served New York, Orlando and Barbados from Manchester, but will stop flying to New York from 23 February. The two other routes will close at the end of March.
The Irish carrier will put on a number of Dublin-Barbados services in April and May to accommodate customers affected by its decision to shutter its Manchester transatlantic operation.
