Aer Lingus is gearing up for the highly anticipated launch of its new direct route from Dublin to Indianapolis, bringing seamless transatlantic travel to the Midwest sporting hub. Starting May 3, 2025, the airline will operate four weekly flights connecting Ireland with Indianapolis and providing the only direct nonstop service between Indiana’s capital and Europe.

This new direct service offers customers in Ireland and Europe an effortless gateway to one of the most celebrated sports destinations in the US. The city is home to the iconic Indianapolis 500, aka the ‘Greatest Spectacle in Racing’, as well as iconic sporting venues like Victory Field, Lucas Oil Stadium, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and the NCAA Hall of Champions.

The inaugural flight comes at an exciting time for Indianapolis, as the Indy 500 countdown begins. Taking place on May 25, the 109th running of the Indy 500 is expected to attract almost 300,000 racing fans to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Aer Lingus is set to make its own mark on the city by sponsoring the prestigious Rev Indy event at the famous oval racing circuit on the evening of the inaugural flight.  

Indianapolis, one of the top 30 US metro areas with a population exceeding 2 million, is also a dynamic business hub. Although many global companies call the city home, Indianapolis has no direct connection with Europe. This new direct flight to Dublin will offer seamless connections between Indianapolis and more than 20 destinations across the UK and mainland Europe, including Paris, London, Frankfurt, Rome and Amsterdam.

Customers eager to explore North America can take advantage of Aer Lingus’ limited-time fare sale. Flights to Indianapolis are available from €249 one way. Book before May 20 for travel, valid for all seasons until 15 Mar 26.

As always, Aer Lingus remains committed to offering exceptional service, including complimentary meals and drinks for all customers flying to the US and Canada with the airline, as well as countless in-flight entertainment options, including new release movies, TV boxsets and games.

Customers traveling to/from Britain or Europe can also take advantage of smooth connections via Dublin, making the vibrant city of Indianapolis more accessible than ever.
