Who is Aer Lingus?

Aer Lingus is the national airline of Ireland. It is based in Dublin
and it operates over 30 aircraft serving Europe and USA. The airline
was floated on the Dublin and London Stock Exchanges on 2 October
2006 and the Irish government at present owns the 28% of the
company. Aer Lingus is a member of the oneworld airline alliance,
though has announced its intention to leave on 1 April 2007.

Competition in the airline business is needed. It will be
interesting to see what happens with the sale of Aer Lingus.
