Aer Lingus (EI/EIN) has announced it will launch a direct flight from Dublin Airport (DUB/EIDW) to Cancun, Mexico from January 2026.
The new flight will be operated by an Airbus A330-300 and will run three times per week.
For UK passengers, there is seamless connections to the flight from nine UK airports including Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, London Heathrow, Manchester, and Southampton.
Lynne Embleton, Aer Lingus Chief Executive Officer, said: “Our new route to Cancún introduces a vibrant new destination to our network and further increases Aer Lingus’ winter sun offering. Our research highlights a strong appetite amongst customers for new travel experiences, particularly seasonal destinations beyond the peak summer period. Mexico, with its tropical climate, caters to the growing consumer demand for winter sun, while also offering a rich blend of history, culture, and cuisine.”
Mara Lezama Espinosa, Quintana Roo State Governor, said: “Quintana Roo, the Mexican Caribbean, welcomes and celebrates the first direct Dublin – Cancun flight from Aer Lingus. We will work together with our partner Aer Lingus to make this a successful operation!”
