DALLAS — Delta Air Lines (DL) has launched a new daily nonstop flight between Dublin Airport (DUB) and Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) on May 10, 2024. This marks DL's fourth direct route from Ireland to the United States, joining existing services to Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), and New York-JFK (JFK).

The inaugural flight signifies a significant milestone in the longstanding partnership between DUB and DL. The airport has welcomed DL as a key partner for nearly four decades, with the first direct route established between DUB and ATL in 1988, as stated by the airport
