Aer Lingus has announced the launch of a new route from Dublin Airport to see the Northern Lights.
The route from Dublin Airport to Tromsø is the first time the Irish airline will be travelling directly to Norway. Flights will operate on Wednesday and Sunday throughout the winter season until March 2026.
One-way fares will start from €101 including taxes, charges, and carrier-imposed fees. For those wishing to see the Aurora Borealis, the northern Norway city is located within the famous belt.
The city’s famous Fjellheisen cable car to the summit of Mount Storsteinen offers one of the best ways to see this natural phenomenon, whilst also enjoying panoramic views of the city – including its famous Arctic Cathedral. Just 12 km from the airport, Tromsø Alpinpark offers slopes for all skill levels—perfect for snow sports enthusiasts seeking adventure in the Arctic.
Susanne Carberry, Chief Customer Officer, Aer Lingus, said: “Today marks a milestone for Aer Lingus as our inaugural direct service from Dublin to Tromsø takes flight, introducing Norway to our network for the very first time. This exciting new route gives customers in Ireland the opportunity to experience the natural beauty and unique adventures of Northern Norway this winter. It also enhances the region’s connectivity to the US, making the region easily accessible via Aer Lingus’ Dublin Hub.”
Ivar Schrøen Helsing, Airport Manager, Avinor Tromsø Airport said: “Finally, we can welcome Irish people on direct flights to fantastic Tromsø, to the northern lights, and outstanding nature and experiences – as well as send all our local adventurous northerners to beautiful and cultural Dublin and Ireland.”
