- Aer Lingus celebrates Irish aviation history as Douglas DC-3 takes to the skies at Dublin Airport.
Aer Lingus welcomed a piece of Irish aviation history into its hangar at Dublin airport today as it received a Douglas DC-3 aircraft hailing from the 1940s and 50s and freshly painted in the Aer Lingus livery of that era.
As is tradition with Aer Lingus aircraft to be named after Irish saints, this DC-3 has been named St Gall which was in fact the name of an Aer Lingus DC-3 aircraft from the 1950s and today’s DC-3 carries the same registration - EI-ACD - as its earlier counterpart.
Aer Lingus took delivery of its first Douglas DC-3 in April 1940, making it the fifth aircraft to be operated by the airline and the first scheduled flight was a Dublin to Liverpool service on 7th May 1940. A total of 19 DC-3 were in use by Aer Lingus until 1964, flying from Dublin to UK destinations such as London, Manchester and Birmingham. The aircraft type operated its first Aer Lingus European service to Paris in 1946, with Amsterdam following in 1947.
While 32 passengers was the maximum capacity of a DC-3 aircraft, today, more than half a century later, Aer Lingus carries as many 317 passengers across the Atlantic on an Airbus A330 aircraft. What was a fleet of a five aircraft in 1940, is today a fleet of 63 aircraft comprising largely of Airbus aircraft. Now flying to more than 100 routes across the UK and Europe, together with 13 direct routes to North America, Aer Lingus operates Airbus A320 and A321 on shorthaul routes and A330 aircraft on longhaul routes.
Aer Lingus marked the arrival of the DC-3 into its hangar today with a short flight over Dublin and welcomed a special guest, Margaret McLoone from Rush, Co Dublin, who was a former Aer Lingus ‘air hostess’ from 1952-1955. Then known as Margaret Bergin, she operated her first flight on a DC-3 and even met her late husband Dinny on board who at that time was an Aer Lingus Second Officer.

They should put her into regular service on one of the short haul routes. You'd have people lining up to take a trip and hoards coming out to see her take off and landings.
This is stunning, such a beautiful aircraft in an iconic Aer Lingus livery.
The first time
Now it is Morlock Motors ...
Hola, soy de Colombia, América del sur. Tuve el inmenso placer de viajar con ésta aerolinea el año pasado, Amsterdam-Cork-Amsterdam. Un trato muy amable tanto a bordo como en tierra.
Saludos Aer Lingus👍
This would be a fun way to come to Ireland from Manchester or Liverpool - Dublin 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
During the mid-late 1980's, I serviced portions of an avionics contract for Aer Lingus, and had the opportunity to become part of the engineering support team for the airline. Not accepting that position, was the largest, and worst mistake of my life, as I chose money and prestige over what would certainly have been my greatest adventure in life.
As the saying was 'the only aeroplane that can replace a Dakota is another Dakota. The first aircraft that could make a profit for airlines without a government subsidy. Its longevity is legendary. Like the shipping container it changed how the world worked. The only aircraft, in my humble opinion, that trumps it is the magnificent and beautiful Concorde and, I would admit, the Dakota was more significant commercially. I read a book once written by a charming American air hostess describing her time on Dakotas. She told some wonderful stories but I now cannot remember her name or the name of the book either. I do, however, remember a line of a poem from the book. "When civilization is at an end and jets are obsolete a Dakota will still be flying along at eleven thousand feet." Thank you Aer Lingus.
Must find that book. It sounds just perfect ✈👍
OMG THIS PLANE WAS FLYING OVER MY HOUSE A FEW DAYS WHEN THIS WAS RECORDED!!!
Fantastic work! Well done Aer Lingus :)
I spent many happy years working with C47s in the 60s. There is no other aircraft with this amount of charisma!
Preservation. My favourite word.
Самолёт красивый ,а стюардессы самые красивые! Удачи и здоровья вам ребята!
The music, in case any one is wondering : Immersive Music - Epic Flight
Simply Magical. I just love these old Aircraft,they will never lose their stylish lines.
Beautiful! Just awesome. DC-3 still amongst my favorites.

You can’t it closed down
No sound of the aircraft which we all want to hear... just this infernal music instead.
Good point, but it was decent music at least.
Dublin to Bristol was Aer Lingus Inagural Route.
Flew it in about 1958.
Such a very old aircraft wow..
I remember seeing one of these in weston Airport
Ì love aer lingus
Now it the Morlock Motors Olive Air
- Douglas DC 3 - C 47 - na FAB -.Força Aérea brasileira.
Lovely video. I love the Dakota. I thought the aircraft should be airborne earlier. Very close to running out of tarmac
Lindo está avião
The best one. No one want to make Replacement of DC-3. Instead, many conpany make a modification into Conroy Turbo Three (3x PT6A), Bastler BT-67.
Fly it over the counties In Leinster plz
👍👍
Pity about the music overlay.
Fly it to cork plz!
Cork Airplanes I agree
Cork Airplanes it will be at the bray air show
DublinAviation- Plane spotting videos Agreed
I like it !
The last moves I can see were in July 2018......where is this one now and has it retained the ZS-NTE registration or will it ever go full time Irish?
Have ye any plans on using the a350 for transatlantic flights
Wonderful Video! What Song is this? Kind regards
Who cares about the music? - I would have preferred to hear those radial engines!
Bloody well done boys, she flys proud over our green land
tá sí ar cheann dár ndícheall🇮🇪
Whats the song and artist for that music?
Marvellous video ! Great views . I see it is a South African registered plane . Is EI going to keep it ?
Richard Shiggins ei-acd reg number is cancelled by Ireland caa
Hey guys will your beautiful Dc-3 be at this years bray air show for both of the days or just Saturday?
Hi Caolan, the DC-3 will be on display both days.
That's the same music from Qatar Airways's Inagrual flight to Nice video.
Immersive Music - Epic Flight is the track.
Beautiful. If you please tell he name of the song. Same song used by Qatar airways on their promotional video of first flight to Nice.
@0:51 is that a Russian Akula?!
Is that the DC 3 St Declan or is it gone?
Was this aircraft a South African purchase? It's got a ZS registration..
Man Alive you should cut the shots to .2 of a second instead of the half a second sections. Why can you leave the Scenes run for a bit longer. Fair play to EI to set this up.
Lose the silly music and let us hear the roar of those beautiful twin Pratt & Whitneys.
Lovely to see. I'll be building a 1/144 kit in those colours in the not too distant future.
Jetzt bei Katastrophen Michael.
Fliegt mit Oliven Öl rund um die Welt.
Und Julie ist Miss Oliven Öl🤭😁
Os it flying today
Steel Buddies?
Die hat doch Steel Buddies gekauft...
I want to través un it
Jetzt beim Manusakis
Picture changes too quickly
Mum flew on the Aer Lingus Daks when she was single.
Los DC-3 SON TAN BONITOS Y TAN BUENOS QUE DEBERIAN FABRICAR NUEVOS MODELOS CON LA NUEVA TECNOLOGIA PERO EL MISMO DISEÑO ES UNA LASTIMA NO TENER MAS UNIDADES UTILES PARA LOS SERVICIOS QUE NECESITA LOS PUEBLOS ALEJADOS DE LA CIVILISACION. A LOS FABRICANTES SE LES VAN LOS CLIENTES DE LOS PAISES SUBDESARROLLADOS. LASTIMA. SALUDOS
