NewsBriefs: Aer Lingus Back to Baltimore

However, the carrier has no immediate plans to relaunch its service out of Newark airport in New Jersey.
Aer lingus has been operating a reduced number of flights over the Atlantic as a result of 9/11 and the foot and mouth disease scare earlier in 2001.
However, the company’s survival plan would appear to be making progress given the recent announcement of fall and winter season trans-Atlantic fares as low as $99 one way.
The heavily reduced passenger capacity over the Atlantic has been seen as a sever drag on prospects for a revival in the struggling Irish tourist industry.
