WELCOME ABOARD AER LINGUS AIRLINES
Aer Lingus (a phonetic rendering of the Irish Aer-Loingeas, "air fleet") is the flag carrier of Ireland. It operates a fleet of Airbus aircraft serving Europe, North America and northern Africa. It is Ireland's oldest extant airline, and its second largest after low-cost rival Ryanair. The airline's head office is located on the grounds of Dublin Airport. Formed in 1936, Aer Lingus is a former member of the Oneworld airline alliance, which it left on 31 March 2007. While it is not part of alliance, the airline has code shares with Oneworld, Star Alliance and SkyTeam members, as well as interlines agreements with Aer Arann and JetBlue Airways. The company employs 4,000 people and flies about 10 million passengers annually. It has a mixed business model, operating a low fare service on its European and North African routes and full service, two-class flights on transatlantic routes. Aer Lingus is 29.4% owned by its rival, Ryanair, and 25.4% owned by the Government of Ireland.
