DALLAS — Nashville International Airport (BNA) and Ireland’s flag carrier, Aer Lingus (EI), today announced the launch of a new nonstop service between Dublin, Ireland, and Nashville, Tennessee, starting April 12, 2025.

This 8.5-hour route from BNA to Dublin Airport (DUB) will be served by a state-of-the-art Airbus A321XLR four times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

The flight will provide seamless onward connections from DUB to 22 destinations throughout Europe, including London, Edinburgh, Rome, Amsterdam, Paris, Manchester, and Berlin. Furthermore, DUB's US customs and immigration pre-clearance facility will save time for passengers traveling to the US.

Aer Lingus is the fifth-largest European airline that operates between the US and Europe. You can join Captain Frank Lawless and First Officers Kristopher Worrall & Anne Kirwan in the flight deck of EI's A330 for the inaugural flight from DUB to Denver (DEN) earlier this year in the video below.
