Aer Lingus, the Official Airline of the IRFU, will bring #HomeAdvantage to Ireland’s Guinness Men’s Six Nations Championship once more this year, by supporting the team’s travel to away games in Scotland, Wales and Italy.

The airline will also proudly fly many of the Irish team’s dedicated supporters to these away games and has added additional flights to assist fans travelling –  including new flights from Cork to Rome this March.

With Ireland chasing a third consecutive Guinness Men’s Six Nations Championship title this year, Aer Lingus is proud to fly the players and support staff to Edinburgh for the team’s clash with Scotland on 9th February, to Cardiff as Ireland go head-to-head with Wales on 22nd February, and finally, to Rome where Ireland will take on Italy on 15th March.

To support travelling fans, Aer Lingus and Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Emerald Airlines, have announced extra flights to key away fixtures. Additional flights from Dublin to Cardiff, as well as from Cork Airport to Bristol, will accommodate those hoping to see Ireland triumph in Principality Stadium. Fans can also easily travel from Dublin and Cork to Edinburgh for the Scotland game.

Aer Lingus has also added brand new direct flights from Cork Airport to Rome. These flights will operate on March 14th and March 16th for those who are heading to see the action in the Stadio Olimpico.

2025 marks the tenth year of Aer Lingus’ partnership with the IRFU, with the airline flying both the men’s and women’s teams to their Guinness Men’s and Women’s Six Nations away games, as well as supporting both teams’ travel to other tournaments.

Aer Lingus’ IRFU men’s ambassadors for 2025 are Ireland captain Caelan Doris, Josh van der Flier, Tadhg Furlong, and Robbie Henshaw, who was in Dublin Airport this week to meet with Aer Lingus staff and cabin crew ahead of the 2025 Guinness Men’s Six Nations kick-off on February 1st at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
