Aer Lingus boosts capacity on Spain routes to meet deadline for home-coming Irish tourists

The number of Covid-19 deaths in Spain has risen by over 300 in the last 24 hours to 1,326.

Aer Lingus has increased its capacity on Spanish routes by 20% in an effort to bring as many Irish citizens home as possible before tonight's deadline of midnight.

The deadline was originally set for midnight Thursday but had been extended due to the numbers involved.
