Aer Lingus is cutting four routes to the United States and scaling back several European services as part of a wider effort to reduce costs and improve profitability, a move that could place up to 500 jobs at risk across the airline.
The Irish carrier said it will discontinue its Dublin-Las Vegas, Dublin-Denver and Dublin-Minneapolis routes later this year, while its Dublin-Seattle service will operate on a summer-only basis beginning at the end of October. The changes are part of a broader restructuring plan that will also reduce the airline's annual flight schedule by about 6%.
