Aer Lingus at Montpellier Méditerranée Airport (MPL)

Aer Lingus confirms its return to Montpellier–Méditerranée Airport in summer 2026, with a direct service to Dublin operating once a week. This resumption reflects the Irish airline’s strategy of expanding its European network by strengthening its presence at regional airports with strong demand from both the leisure and business markets. The Montpellier–Dublin flight is aimed at French travellers wishing to reach the Irish capital, as well as Irish travellers seeking direct access to the south of France, which is particularly attractive for beach and cultural breaks. This return is part of Aer Lingus’ strategy of reactivating seasonal routes in high-potential markets, thereby optimising aircraft load factors while diversifying its long-haul and medium-haul offering. For Montpellier Airport, this resumption confirms its appeal to European airlines and its role as a regional hub for direct connections to Ireland, strengthening its international connectivity and its ability to attract leisure and business travellers.
