Ciarán Smith, head of commercial at Emerald Airlines said: ”Today’s announcement is a much-anticipated one and will no doubt be warmly welcomed by passengers travelling for both business and travel pleasure purposes. The new Liverpool-Dublin service will provide those planning a trip with more choice and convenient flight times to suit their schedule.
"We believe that we can offer the region both great value flights to Dublin but also access to one of the fastest growing transatlantic gateways in Europe.”
Emerald Airlines follows PLAY in offering one stop to USA from Liverpool. The Icelandic airline launched from John Lennon Airport in October, providing flights to Keflavík International Airport and onward connections to America.
Lufthansa also provides international connectivity from the Speke-based airport, with flights from Liverpool to Frankfurt and onward connections from the German city.
