Aer Lingus has been growing their US route network significantly the past few years, in a steady but consistent way:

Would be interesting if they started flights to DTW or MSP,otherwise SkyTeams (especially DL) influence there is too much.It's hard to get on a non-stop flight from mainland Europe to any of those 2,except Lufthansa flies once to DTW on daily basis. I hate SkyTeam and rather see a BA or Iberia or Swiss/Austrian launching flights to DTW/MSP. Wouldn't mind Aer Lingus flying there too.
Ok....I wouldn’t really mind taking Aer lingus now...... I don’t like Qatar Airways (and specially AKBAR AL-BAKER...he is batshit crazy) and I hate OneWorld!
I've been waiting on Lingus space to open up for a while from the east coast... the last few winter's they seem to have made a bunch of space open in Biz like AA does, right now the early summer seems to be a deadzone.
Denver has so few international routes that direct flights are massively overpriced. I welcome this. Also, iirc, Chase added Aer Lingus as transfer partner late last year, which is double great.
I'd love to see more international expansion out of Denver. Air Canada, Aeromexico, British Airways, Lufthansa, and Icelandair have all flown here for a while, and Norwegian, WOW, and now Aer Lingus have/could add new destinations. Not to mention United's Tokyo route that launched a number of years ago and the Heathrow route that they will (have?) launch. Hopefully we see a Sea-Tac type expansion happen in DEN in the coming years.
Edelweiss is starting seasonal flights to ZRH this June and DY is starting flights to CDG in April. An article from the Denver Business Journal the other week stated Norwegian Air wants to explore adding BCN or MAD next year and of course EI seems to be in the pipeline. At this rate the only major hole in the EU network is AMS.
More routes to Europe are nice but what DEN really needs is more flights to Asia and an ME3 carrier as UA is milking its DEN-NRT for all its worth (Y tickets go as high as $2000)
I would be ecstatic about this if it's true. Would make a cheaper option for AA/BA miles from Denver to Europe than British airways.

US airlines use 757's across the Atlantic as well
No fun, I'd agree, but not unusual
I would love if this happened. It looks like they chose Minneapolis instead. So disappointed
Honestly I think British Airways is good. If you have Alaska Airlines Miles u can use those with BA too.
