Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Emerald Airlines, has announced two new routes from Dublin Airport to Brittany, France, starting from May 2024. The airline will offer flights to Rennes, the capital of Brittany, and Brest, a port city on the Atlantic coast.
The new routes are expected to boost tourism and trade between Ireland and Brittany, a region with strong cultural and historical ties to Ireland. Brittany is known for its scenic landscapes, rich heritage, and delicious cuisine, especially its famous crepes and cider.
