Dublin, 22nd January 2009
Aer Lingus and United Airlines today announce an innovative extension of their relationship on select long haul services between Europe and North America. This partnership will capitalise on the growth opportunities presented by the Open Skies agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) by opening new transatlantic non-stop services.
The partners will launch service between Washington Dulles and Madrid, which will be available for sale from April 2009, and will commence daily operations from March 2010. It is anticipated that additional routes may be made available for sale during 2010 to commence operation in Summer 2011.
It is intended that both carriers will equally share the commercial and operating benefits and risk, with Aer Lingus managing the operational aspects of the new partnership services and United Airlines taking responsibility for managing revenue generation. The Partnership route structure will be operated and sold under both Aer Lingus and United Airlines codes and will leverage both parties’ network capabilities.
Aer Lingus and United Airlines launched code share services between Ireland and the US in October 2008 which are proving to be successful based on initial traffic performance. The new Partnership will build upon this relationship enabling the parties to take advantage of the new commercial opportunities made possible by the Open Skies Air Services Agreement between the European Union and the United States.
Further expansion and development of the partnership’s activities will be jointly assessed and agreed by the Partners and may develop into a broader and deeper joint venture.
