Aer Arann and Aer Lingus have signed an Interline Agreement that allows customers to directly connect to Aer Lingus transatlantic services from Cork Airport.

Customers will be able to check in at Cork Airport, check their luggage directly through to their final destination in the USA, and transfer to their flight at Dublin Airport. The new arrangement is also available for customers travelling from the USA, connecting to Cork Airport.

Aer Arann's Managing Director, Garry Cullen said, "The ability to through check luggage all the way to your final destination from Cork, and transfer seamlessly to Aer Lingus' USA services in Dublin, will be of great benefit to Aer Arann and Aer Lingus customers.
