About Emerald Airlines

Emerald Airlines is Ireland’s fast-growing regional airline, proudly headquartered at Dublin Airport. Founded in 2020, the airline was created with a clear vision: to deliver reliable, customer-focused, and efficient air travel across Ireland, the United Kingdom, and beyond. Emerald Airlines began operations in 2022 and quickly positioned itself as a trusted partner in the aviation sector, particularly through its franchise agreement with Aer Lingus. Operating under the Aer Lingus Regional brand, Emerald Airlines offers vital connectivity to communities across Ireland and the UK. From major hubs like Dublin and Belfast to smaller cities and underserved routes, the airline has established itself as an essential player in regional aviation. Its fleet consists primarily of ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft—renowned for their fuel efficiency and optimal performance on short-haul routes—enabling the airline to provide cost-effective and sustainable services. Emerald Airlines is more than just a connector of cities; it is a symbol of Ireland’s aviation resilience and innovation. With a dedicated team of aviation professionals, the airline emphasizes punctuality, operational safety, and a seamless travel experience. In fact, Emerald Airlines has earned praise for its on-time performance, reflecting its focus on reliability and customer satisfaction. Aside from scheduled passenger services, the airline also offers private charter options and ACMI leasing, allowing other airlines to benefit from its aircraft and operational support. This diversification enhances Emerald Airlines’ adaptability and financial stability, even in a challenging aviation landscape. What truly sets Emerald Airlines apart is its local focus and global ambition. It supports regional development by maintaining crucial public service obligation (PSO) routes, such as the Dublin–Donegal service, while actively exploring new markets and expanding its network across Europe. As Emerald Airlines continues to grow, it remains committed to its core values of connectivity, sustainability, and customer care. In just a short span of time, the airline has carved out a significant place in the regional aviation sector—and its future is as bright as its name suggests.
