Aer Lingus to increase their Birmingham to Dublin service up to six flights a day from June 2013

Aer Lingus are planning to increase their Birmingham to Dublin service up to
to six flights a day every weekday with effect from Monday 3 June 2013....

.... from that date they will introduce a 0715 departure from Birmingham to
Dublin operated by a night stopping Aer Lingus Regional ATR 72 which will also
operate two further additional daily departures from BHX at 1045 and 1845

The other three daily flights from Birmingham to Dublin will continued to be
operated by Airbus 320's with the first rotation of the day operating slightly
later to give a better spread of morning departures to Dublin which will then
be at 0715, 0850 and 1045

Aer Lingus are planning to increase their transatlantic flights from Dublin this
year and are looking to feed more passengers from the UK - Dublin Airport offers
pre-clearance of US Customs and Immigration so is a fast way "into" the USA
- and the additional flights are timed to offer good connections from/to BHX
 

The Aer Lingus Regional ATR 72 flights are operated on their behalf by Aer Arann
and this franchise agreement has now been extended until 2022 as part of the
deal to acquire a fleet of new ATR 72-600's the deliveries of which start in May 2013

Aer Lingus Regional/Aer Arann ATR 72's will continue to operate from Birmingham
to Cork, twice daily, and Knock and Shannon - both daily
