Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus’ Chief Customer Officer, said:
We are thrilled to add Nashville to our expanding North American network, offering Irish customers direct access into one of the most exciting and culturally rich cities in the United States. The connection between Irish and American country music runs deep and Nashville’s iconic status as the capital of country music makes it a dream destination for music lovers. Its fast-growing fashion, finance, healthcare and automotive industries also offer plenty of opportunities for business travellers.”
Music City is getting lots of love recently. Last week, I wrote about Icelandair adding nonstop service from Keflavík International Airport (KEF). This new route will launch on May 16th and run 4x weekly. Last month, it was speculated that Nashville International Airport (BNA) would get its second European destination. Discover Airlines seemed like it was going to be adding flights from Frankfurt Airport (FRA). That’s apparently not happening, but Aer Lingus and Icelandair are nice adds.
Anthony’s Take: Nashville seems to be on the minds of international carriers. These new routes complement British Airways’ existing service and make it easier for locals to get to Europe.
