ST. LOUIS — St. Louis is bidding to get another nonstop flight to Europe, this time Dublin on Aer Lingus, according to people familiar with the matter.
Officials have been working behind the scenes to put together a package for the flag carrier of Ireland in order to lure the route here, the people said.
It wasn't immediately clear what stage any bid was in.
The leader of St. Louis Lambert International Airport, Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, declined to comment. A spokesman for business group Greater St. Louis Inc., which people familiar with the matter say has worked on the package, declined to comment.
Aer Lingus didn't respond to a request for comment.
News reports have indicated that the Dublin-based airline is poised to soon make announcements about new routes.
