United Airlines recommenced four weekly flights to Newark on July 7th while American Airlines resumed flights to and from Dallas on July 11th. The Irish Times understands the numbers on most flights have been less than 20 with not much more than 100 people travelling from the US to Ireland on American carriers over the last seven days. An American Airlines spokeswoman said it had operated two flights from Dallas/Fort Worth to Dublin since resuming service. He added that around 30 per cent of current inbound passengers from North America “don’t remain in Ireland but connect to other services to Europe”. According to the DAA, the authority which manages Dublin Airport, 4,700 passengers travelled on transatlantic routes to and from Ireland in April, a decline of 99 per cent on 2019.
