Aer Lingus will discontinue its Dublin to Minneapolis route after October 24 as part of a 6% reduction in overall flight capacity to eliminate underperforming routes. The airline also plans to cut U.S. routes in Denver, Las Vegas, and Seattle, citing economic challenges, rising costs, and increased transatlantic competition. The changes include reducing senior management roles by 25% and potentially 500 employee departures.
