Iolar Returns to Celebrate 90 Years | Ireland News

A vintage Aer Lingus DH.84 Dragon, nicknamed “Iolar,” made a triumphant return to Cork Airport—marking both Aer Lingus’s 90th and the airport’s 65th anniversaries. This rare replica, one of only three such planes flying globally, retraced historic routes and offered scenic flights to staff, bridging past and present. Originally flown in 1936 with just five passengers, the original “Iolar” was lost in WWII, but this modern tribute honored its legacy while celebrating Ireland’s enduring aviation spirit.
