Year- round connections from the east-coast to Shannon will be introduced. This expansion will directly support more than 200 new jobs. In addition Aer Lingus customers from sixteen cities across the U.S. (including Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Diego) will benefit from convenient connections to Ireland via San Francisco, as well as a number of UK and European cities via Dublin. The new San Francisco route also represents a business opportunity for Aer Lingus Cargo. Further to the direct service to Ireland from Toronto, Aer Lingus will provide connections from eight Canadian cities including Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary. Once in Dublin, flights will connect to over twenty UK and European cities. This growth plan will bring the Aer Lingus long haul schedule to 10 daily transatlantic services, connecting North America with Ireland and Europe.
