About Emerald Airlines Ireland

Emerald Airlines (Ireland) is a new Irish regional carrier.

The airline is currently in early startup stages. As of noviembre 2020, the airline has applied to the Republic’s Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) for an Air Carrier Operating Licence; if successful, the airline will be given permission to sell flights to the public.

Emerald Airlines is backed by aviation entrepreneur Conor McCarthy, who is a majority shareholder and has extensive experience within the industry (he was the co-founder of AirAsia).

Note: Emerald Airlines is a new airline, not to be confused with Emerald Airways, which was a small UK operator which ceased operations in 2006. There is also an airline based in Zimbabwe which is also called Emerald Airlines — find out more about Emerald Airlines (Zimbabwe) here.

Emerald Airlines is bidding for the Aer Lingus Regional contract

Currently, Aer Lingus Regional operates routes from Ireland (Dublin) to destinations across the UK. However, Aer Lingus put its regional contract, which authorises the airline to operate regional services in Britain and Ireland, out for tender earlier this year (2020). It is expected that Emerald Airlines will be challenging other airlines, including Dublin-based Stobart Airlines, to win this contract.
