Emerald Airlines: History and Facts
Emerald Airlines is an Irish regional carrier founded by aviation entrepreneur Conor McCarthy. It began operations in March 2022 as the exclusive operator of the Aer Lingus Regional franchise, taking over the role previously held by Stobart Air after that airline's collapse.
Emerald flies ATR 72-600 turboprops in Aer Lingus Regional colours from Dublin and Belfast City, connecting Ireland with regional airports across the UK and nearby Europe. Its short sectors, including hops to destinations like the Isle of Man and Edinburgh, make it a natural fit for turboprop enthusiasts.
