Currently, Aer Lingus use their Airbus A330 on their evening rotation on the Dublin-London service to cater for the extra cargo from the UK. Although restrictions remain for passengers entering the United States, Aer Lingus continue to operate a skeleton service from Dublin to New York, Boston and Chicago to ensure the flow of essential cargo from Irish Businesses into the United States.
