Aer Lingus announces 10 new winter routes

Aer Lingus today announced 10 new routes as part of its winter schedule for 2011/2012 including a route from Cork to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.

The new service will operate once weekly, commencing on Sunday October 30.

This route expands on the extensive choice already on offer to Aer Lingus customers travelling to the Canary Islands, with scheduled services also available from Ireland to Lanzarote, Tenerife and Fuerteventura.

The extensive route network from Dublin will now include four weekly flights to Milan Malpensa throughout the winter schedule - good news for ski and snowboarding enthusiasts seeking out the snow this winter.

The recently launched service to Stuttgart will also be extended this winter with four weekly flights from Dublin.
