Aer Lingus is the Irish flag carrier. It operates over 100 routes to 62 destinations from Dublin Airport (DUB), Shannon Airport (SNN), and Manchester Airport (MAN). The airline recently announced that Nashville International Airport (BNA) would be added to the route network in April 2025. Now, Aer Lingus has quietly added another US destination to the list with flights to Indianapolis International Airport (IND) beginning in May 2025.
Indianapolis (IND) gains transatlantic flights.
Aer Lingus will begin flying from Dublin (DUB) to Indianapolis (IND) with a 4x weekly A321neo (likely XLR) starting May 5, 2025:

The flights will operate 4x weekly Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays, and Saturdays between Dublin Airport (DUB) and Indianapolis International Airport (IND) and use an Airbus A321XLR on this route. It offers 16 Business Class and 168 Economy Class seats. Indianapolis International Airport (IND) will be Aer Lingus’ 18th US destination. Others include:
- Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
- Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE)
- Denver International Airport (DEN)

- Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)

- Orlando International Airport (MCO)

Anthony’s Take: Indianapolis does not currently have any nonstop service to Europe. The addition of Aer Lingus will make it simple to get to Ireland or other parts of Europe quickly. The last nonstop transatlantic flight was operated by Delta Air Lines and offered nonstop service to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). This ended in 2020 and was the first nonstop to Europe that the airport offered.

Jeez they fly to a lot of cities in the USA. I’m a bit surprised they fly to somewhat smaller cities but not ATL or anywhere in Texas.
$17 million a year in subsidy from the Indiana economic commission. Plus $2 million a year in airport fee waivers and advertising. Guess that’ll do it!
That’s a hefty sum 🙂
