American Airlines has announced plans to fly a daily service from Dublin to JFK airport in New York from June 12th. Seats will be available to book from November 5th with economy fares starting at €480 including taxes.
This will add competition on a route that is already served by Aer Lingus twice daily and by US carrier Delta, which flies the route daily. US airline United also operates a daily flight from Dublin to Newark, which serves New York.
Figures from the Dublin Airport Authority show about 650,000 passengers flew between Dublin and New York last year.
The service will complement American’s daily service from Dublin to Chicago. From June next, Dublin will have 12 daily scheduled flights to nine US airports.
