Aer Lingus said on its corporate blog, total long haul seat capacity will grow by more than 17 percent in 2016, representing the fourth consecutive year of more than double-digit long haul growth.

“The addition of daily two class service aboard B757 will connect Hartford directly with our Dublin gateway and provide convenient connections to a wide range of British and European cities”.

He added: “We are delighted to be delivering on the growth opportunities that being part of global Airlines Group (IAG) presents and to be creating over 200 new jobs in the process. We look forward to welcoming our guests on-board in 2016”.

Aer Lingus announced Wednesday it’s establishing nonstop service between Dublin and Bradley global Airport, ending a seven-year halt in trans-Atlantic flights from the Hartford-Springfield region.

The Dublin-Los Angeles route will be begin operation next May, with five direct services per week. No, IAG said, Aer Lingus would make a big splash on its own.
