Emerald Airlines Celebrates One Million Passenger Milestone

Emerald Airlines is celebrating after reaching the one million passenger milestone in the first 12 months of operation

Aer Lingus Regional operator Emerald Airlines has reached a milestone less than 12 months after it starting operations.

The airline hit the one-million-passenger mark when the Brady family boarded the Dublin to Southampton service on Monday January 16.

To celebrate, the airline gave the Brady family four complimentary round-trip tickets for use anywhere on the Aer Lingus Regional network.

Commenting on the milestone, Conor McCarthy, Emerald Airline’s Founder and Executive Chairman said: “Having only operated our first flight less than 12 months ago, to have just welcomed our one-millionth passenger, in such a short time frame is a really great achievement by the whole team here at Emerald.”

The carrier will fly 25 routes this summer, 15 from Dublin and 10 from Belfast, and will offer more than 1.5 million seats for sale during the holiday season.
