Feeling lucky? Pittsburgh International Airport will add nonstop flights to Dublin, Ireland, starting May 25, 2026. It’s the first time the two cities have ever been connected with regular service and also the first new flight announced since the airport’s landside terminal opened last month.
The route also opens up opportunities for travel to other major European cities such as Amsterdam, Paris and Rome, according to Blue Sky News — an aviation news website operated by the Allegheny County Airport Authority. Flights will run Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
“Aer Lingus is particularly pleased to add Pittsburgh to our transatlantic network, having worked closely with partners in the region to make this a possibility,” Aer Lingus Chief Customer Officer Susanne Carberry told Blue Sky News. “This route builds on our strong partnership with the Pittsburgh Steelers and further cements Aer Lingus’ position as a leading transatlantic carrier.”
The addition comes three months after the Steelers played in Dublin’s Croke Park.
“The opportunity for the Pittsburgh Steelers to play in Ireland is truly special, not only because of the Rooney family history there, but also to play in front of the growing number of Steelers fans in Ireland,” wrote Steelers President Art Rooney II in a February press release.
Current flights from Pittsburgh to Dublin include multiple layovers and airline transfers, and cost between $1,400 and $2,100.
An economy flight from Aer Lingus’ website that would depart on Monday, May 25, and return on Friday, May 29, is currently listed to cost about $864.
Pittsburgh International Airport CEO Christina Cassotis called the route one that “community leaders have been seeking.”
“We are thrilled to have a partner in Aer Lingus that will serve Pittsburgh’s growing market for nonstop service to Ireland and beyond, and we look forward to welcoming even more European travelers to Pittsburgh,” Cassotis told Blue Sky News.
