NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Starting next year, a new international airline will take flight from Nashville International Airport (BNA) bringing travelers straight to the Emerald Isle.
On Friday, the airport announced that Aer Lingus will be offering nonstop flights from Nashville straight to Dublin, Ireland. Flights are expected to start on April 12, 2025.
According to a release, a “state-of-the-art” Airbus A321XLR will serve the eight-and-a-half hour flight four times weekly on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Once travelers arrive in Dublin, officials say they can also access “seamless connections” to major European cities, which include London, Edinburgh, Rome, Amsterdam, Paris, Manchester and Berlin.
Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority, said the flight will offer travelers an “unforgettable experience.”
“Nashville’s legendary music scene and Dublin’s rich history make this a natural pairing. This nonstop flight will offer travelers an unforgettable opportunity to experience the best of both worlds, from exploring Ireland’s stunning landscapes and ancient ruins to immersing themselves in Nashville’s vibrant Broadway experience,” said Kreulen. “It’s the perfect combination for those seeking adventure, culture, and a truly unforgettable journey.”
Aer Lingus’ Chief Customer Officer Susanne Carberry also expressed her excitement about the direct connection to Nashville and Dublin.
“This direct route between Dublin and Nashville is a hugely exciting addition to Aer Lingus’ expanding North American network. This non-stop connection will strengthen the deep cultural, musical and business ties between Ireland and Tennessee,” added Carberry. “We know our Irish customers will be delighted to experience Music City’s electric atmosphere, while customers departing from Nashville enjoy a warm Irish welcome as they fly with Aer Lingus to Dublin.”
Fares for the flight are expected to start at $499, including taxes, fees and carrier charges. For more information about Aer Lingus and the flight, click here.
