Dublin Airport welcomes expanded service from Delta Airlines in 2017

Dublin Airport has welcomed today’s announcement by Delta Airlines that it is to expand its route network from Dublin by launching a new service to Boston next year.

The new service, which will operate daily from May until October, will complement Delta’s existing routes from Dublin to New York-JFK and Atlanta.

Dublin Airport managing director, Vincent Harrison, said he was delighted to welcome the new Delta service.

“We’re thrilled that Delta is launching a third transatlantic service from Dublin Airport,” he stated. “This new daily service to Boston will offer additional choice and convenience for passengers on both sides of the Atlantic and the added connectivity it will bring will further boost the already strong tourism and trade links between the US and Ireland.”

A record 2.4 million transatlantic passengers travelled to and from Dublin Airport last year and this figure is set to increase further in 2016. More than one million people used Dublin Airport to connect to or from transatlantic destinations in 2015.
