About Aer Lingus
Aer Lingus is the flag carrier of Ireland, founded in 1936 and headquartered on the grounds of Dublin Airport in Cloghran, County Dublin. It carries the IATA code EI and the ICAO code EIN. The airline was acquired by International Airlines Group in 2015, joining British Airways, Iberia and Vueling within the group. Aer Lingus left the oneworld alliance in 2007 and has remained outside the major global alliances since, operating as an independent carrier under IAG ownership.
The airline operates no dedicated freighter aircraft. All cargo is carried as belly freight in the holds of its passenger fleet, and since 2016 that capacity has been marketed and handled by IAG Cargo, the group's combined cargo division formed in 2011 from British Airways World Cargo and Iberia Cargo. Aer Lingus flies an all-Airbus fleet of around 60 aircraft, spanning A320 and A321 family narrowbodies, long-range A321LR and A321XLR jets, and A330-200 and A330-300 widebodies used on its longer transatlantic services.
Dublin is the airline's principal hub and a significant cargo point for the wider IAG Cargo network, which also operates through London Heathrow and Madrid. Aer Lingus is best known for transatlantic services linking Ireland with North American cities, complemented by an extensive European network and UK feeder routes. Its A321LR and A321XLR narrowbodies have opened thinner long-haul markets such as Nashville and Indianapolis, extending the belly-cargo reach of the network deeper into North America from the Dublin gateway.

Why isn't my Aer Lingus air cargo updating?
Aer Lingus tracking reflects what the carrier and flight feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as uplift or arrival) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for Aer Lingus shipments?
Panvaya combines Aer Lingus's schedule with live flight position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
