Aer Lingus Regional has announced a new service between Dublin and Inverness. Commencing on the 21st of May 2026, the new service will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays, offering convenient schedules for both business and leisure passengers. The flights will provide passengers with direct access to one of Scotland’s most scenic and culturally rich regions. From the dramatic landscapes of the Highlands to the iconic filming location of The Traitors UK and the world-renowned Harry Potter Jacobite steam train, visitors will be spoilt for choice!
Commenting on the new route, the Head of Commercial at Emerald Airlines, Ian Loughsaid: “We are delighted to be adding another new connection from Dublin, just in time for the busy summer season. We believe this will be warmly welcomed by both business and leisure travellers alike, and look forward to welcoming passengers onboard in the very near future.”
Also commenting was the Inverness Airport Manager, Dan Mason, who said: “It is exciting to see the return of direct flights between Inverness and Dublin, restoring a route that has been missed by passengers across the Highlands and Islands. This service not only reconnects the region with Ireland’s capital but it also provides onward access to North America via Aer Lingus transatlantic flights, including New York and Boston, with convenient connection times through Dublin. Welcoming Aer Lingus to Inverness for the first time is a positive step for regional connectivity and passenger choice, and we are thrilled to work with the airline as the route launches and develops.”
