The carrier said that it's getting ready for its busiest-ever summer season in Ireland, with 33 outbound flights planned from the US every week between May and August.
The Minneapolis-Dublin route will run five times per week and the New York-Shannon service will operate daily. Customers can also fly to Dublin from Boston and Atlanta over the summer and Delta operates a year-round daily service between New York and Dublin .
Matteo Curcio, Delta’s Senior Vice President for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India, said: “We are excited to be expanding our footprint in Ireland next month, offering our customers a new Delta destination and more nonstop and one-stop travel options throughout the Americas from Ireland.
“Delta’s convenient schedule between Ireland and the US and the start of these new routes will boost trade and tourism opportunities here in Ireland thanks to thousands more available seats this summer.”
