Dublin Direct to Bradley International is back
Don Shearer (Travelbiz) joined trade and media partners to celebrate the relaunch of Aer Lingus’ nonstop direct flight from Dublin to Hartford/Windsor Locks Connecticut’s Bradley Airport.
The Connecticut Office of Tourism Office, a division of the Connecticut Department of Economic Development, along with its partners Aer Lingus and Bradley International Airport welcomed a full house of travel agents, tour operators, meeting planners travel media, and industry partners to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum for what was a great night of celebration and interaction.
Hartford marks Aer Lingus’ 16th transatlantic route from Ireland. The daily service will resume from 26 March and will be a critical milestone for Bradley International Airport as Aer Lingus will operate the only direct service from there to Europe.
Further establishing Dublin as the natural transatlantic gateway to Europe, Aer Lingus’ Hartford service offers travellers seamless onward connections to 28 UK and European airports including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and Prague, plus many more.
