The Aer Lingus has formally announced that they will be ceasing Manchester transatlantic operations as of and from 31st March 2026. This includes the direct Manchester to Orlando route. If you've already booked a package that included an Aer Lingus flight through Disney Holidays you'll be soon contacted - if not already - to arrange alternative flights. If you've booked a flight direct with Aer Lingus, all impacted customers are being informed of the cancellation of flights directly and provided with reaccommodation and refund options.
A decision has been taken to cease Aer Lingus' Manchester transatlantic operations as of and from 31st March 2026. Manchester–New York operations will cease from 23rd February 2026 and Aer Lingus plans to operate a service from Dublin to Barbados (subject to receipt of necessary approvals) during the months of April and May to reaccommodate affected customers. We do not expect there to be any impact to operations before these dates.
