American Airlines have announced a major expansion of two of their popular Dublin Airport routes.
The airline is upgrading its current summer-only daily service between Dublin and Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to a year-round service from this October. It is also expanding its daily summer service between Dublin and Charlotte, with the service starting earlier on March 1, next year.
American Airlines is expanding both services on "the strength of high demand from passengers at both ends of the US routes and US visitors who want to also access their partner Aer Lingus' short-haul network into Europe from Dublin Airport".

Vincent Harrison, Chief Commercial and Development Officer at Dublin Airport said: "This welcome expansion is evidence of the strong demand for transatlantic travel between Dublin Airport and North America. Demand has increased steadily over the past 15 months following the easing of COVID-19 travel restrictions and we anticipate that other summer-only transatlantic routes will also soon become year-round services.
"American Airlines' expansion is particularly welcome, given the airline's strong commitment to more sustainable flying, which includes the use of sustainable aviation fuel in their aircraft and the use of environmentally conscious products onboard."
