Aer Lingus Company Description
Aer Lingus hasn't been languishing on its Atlantic isle. The carrier provides passenger transportation services from Ireland to markets in the UK, the US, continental Europe, and the Middle East. Overall, Aer Lingus serves more than 70 destinations with a fleet of about 40 Airbus jets. It extends its network through code-sharing relationships with carriers such as American Airlines, British Airways, and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. (Code-sharing allows airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus offer potential passengers service to more destinations.) Aer Lingus has been the subject of an unsolicited takeover bid from Irish rival Ryanair, which owns about 30% of the company.
