Flight DL114 was operated on a Boeing 767 registered as N16065. The aircraft took off from Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport at 21:24 local time and landed at Dublin Airport at 10:42 the following day, after seven hours and 18 minutes. The airline will compete in this segment with Aer Lingus, which currently offers four weekly flights operated on Airbus A330s.

Delta began operations at Dublin Airport in 1988, with a direct route to Atlanta playing a key role in facilitating travel between Ireland and North America, contributing to the airport’s growth and serving millions of passengers. Today, the airline offers year-round flights from the Irish capital to New York JFK and seasonal services to Atlanta, Boston and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

“Today marks the launch of Delta Air Lines’ new direct service from Dublin to Minneapolis, adding another exciting chapter to our long-standing relationship with Delta. As Managing Director of Dublin Airport, I am delighted to be part of what is a great day for both Delta and the airport,” said Gary McLean, Managing Director of Dublin Airport.
