Aer Lingus relocates flights from Manchester to Ireland to Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport

Aer Lingus flights between Manchester and the island of Ireland will move to Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport.

From Tuesday, 16th September, all Aer Lingus and Aer Lingus Regional flights (operated by Emerald Airlines) from Manchester will depart from and arrive into Terminal 2, offering customers a modern and streamlined travel experience.

This transition is part of Manchester Airport’s £1.3 billion transformation programme, which brings all Aer Lingus operations - including direct transatlantic services from Manchester - under one roof at Terminal 2. As well as flights to Dublin and Belfast City Airport (operated by Emerald Airlines), Aer Lingus also flies three transatlantic routes from Manchester Airport to New York JFK, Orlando and Barbados.

Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport offers Aer Lingus customers flying between Manchester and Ireland an enhanced airport experience and allows for easier connections to other Aer Lingus services.

Manchester Airport Terminal 2 highlights include:

· Convenient self-service kiosks for faster check-in

· Free Wi-Fi and charging stations to stay connected

· A wide selection of shops, restaurants, ATMs, and currency exchange services

Customers from Manchester and the North of England will be able to connect more seamlessly to Aer Lingus’s extensive transatlantic network via the airline’s Dublin Hub, including its new route to Cancún, Mexico which commences in January 2026.

The airline also flies to a wide range of destinations in the US including Nashville, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Seattle, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Boston, and Chicago. Thanks to the US preclearance at Dublin Airport, customers save time on arrival at their destination as they’ve already cleared customs in Ireland.
