History
On 23 March 2020, Stobart Air which operated under the Aer Lingus Regional brand announced it would suspend all international flights due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However its public service obligation (PSO) flights from Dublin Airport to Donegal Airport and Kerry Airport would continue.[2]
On 29 March 2020, Aer Lingus began temporarily operating flights to Beijing Capital International Airport (IATA: PEK). This destination was organized in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to collect personal protective equipment which was made in China for use in Ireland. The flights were not available for passenger bookings and did not carry flight attendants.[3] By 7 April 2020, Aer Lingus confirmed on social media that Beijing had become their busiest route, with up to five flights daily, while other normally popular destinations saw a much reduced or totally suspended service.[4] The destination, which is the airline's first in East Asia, is serviced by the company's Airbus A330 fleet.[5] The airline announced it has completed its 100th flight to Beijing, carrying 1,300 tonnes of vital PPE.[5]
On 24 March 2021, Aer Lingus announced the launch of four new routes from Manchester Airport; New York John F Kennedy and Orlando from 29 July 2021, Barbados from 20 October 2021 and Boston from summer 2022.[6]
On 12 June 2021, Stobart Air, the operator of Aer Lingus Regional flights, entered liquidation, resulting in Aer Lingus Regional ceasing operations with immediate effect.[7]
