Aer Lingus has announced that launch of its daily Manchester-NYC and 4-5X/week Manchester-Orlando services originally scheduled for 29 July 2021 will be delayed until 30 September because of continuing COVID-19-related restrictions on international travel.

The UK has been under a US State Department Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory since April 2021.

A new 2-3X/week Manchester-Barbados service is still scheduled to begin on 20 October 2021, Manchester-Boston (possibly seasonal) in the summer of 2022.

On Friday the airline announced that it has canceled some flights to European destinations for the rest of 2021 because of poor demand.

Customer service reps will be contacting any booked passengers whose flights have been canceled to offer refunds, alternative flights, or vouchers.
