The new route will commence on April 12, 2025 and will operate four weekly flights on Aer Lingus’ new state-of-the-art Airbus A321XLR aircraft, connecting Ireland to one of the fastest-growing cities in the US, renowned as “Music City” for its deep-rooted musical heritage.
Tickets for Aer Lingus’ Dublin to Nashville flights go on sale today. Flights start from €499 return including taxes and charges.
Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus’ Chief Customer Officer, commented: “We are thrilled to add Nashville to our expanding North American network, offering Irish customers direct access into one of the most exciting and culturally rich cities in the United States. The connection between Irish and American country music runs deep and Nashville’s iconic status as the capital of country music makes it a dream destination for music lovers. Its fast-growing fashion, finance, healthcare and automotive industries also offer plenty of opportunities for business travellers.”
Doug Kreulen, President and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) said: “A new chapter in travel history begins today as Music City and the Emerald Isle are linked by a nonstop flight through our exciting new partnership with Aer Lingus.
“Nashville’s legendary music scene and Dublin’s rich history make this a natural pairing. This nonstop flight will offer travellers 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. It’s the perfect combination for those seeking adventure, culture, and a truly unforgettable journey.”
Freddie O’Connell, Mayor of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, added: “I am thrilled to see Music City connect to the Emerald Isle and excited for Nashvillians and Dubliners to experience what each city has to offer – both our similarities and what makes us unique. Nashville’s increased travel options afford us the opportunity to show visitors all that makes Nashville such a vibrant and welcoming city – and for Nashvillians to experience the rich history of a city like Dublin.”
