We have just received our long overdue permission to fly to the US and we are now actively planning our first transatlantic flights from Ireland to give customers more choice and greater value. We will be operating even more brand new aircraft next year so with this in mind, Ireland will continue to receive the highest quality low-cost flights in comfort.”
