Ireland’s home carrier Aer Lingus celebrates its 20th anniversary on the Dublin-Vienna route

20 years ago, Aer Lingus took off on a flight to Vienna for the very first time. The first flight of the Irish national airline Aer Lingus from Dublin to Vienna took place in October 2002. Two decades later the airline, its aircraft featuring the three-leaf clover “shamrock,” offers four weekly flights from Vienna to its domestic base on the emerald-green island in the Atlantic. Today, 27 October 2022, Aer Lingus and Vienna Airport celebrate the 20th anniversary of this flight connection within the context of a photo shoot.
