"Aer Lingus" is an anglicized version of "Aer Loingeas," which means "Air Fleet" in the Irish Gaelic language. "People often wonder where such an unusual name comes from, when translated from Irish, Aer Lingus means Air Fleet." Airliners.net: Aer Lingus http://www.airliners.net/articles/read.main?id=47 "Aer Lingus means 'Air Fleet' in Gaeilge." Samurai Squirrel: Quiz Night http://www.samuraisquirrel.net/trivia/archives/001261.html "The name, Aer Lingus is an anglicisation of the Irish form Aer Loingeas which means Air Fleet." Answers.com: Aer Lingus http://www.answers.com/topic/aer-lingus My Google search strategy: Google Web Search: aerlingus OR "aer lingus" "air fleet" ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=aerlingus+OR+%22aer+lingus%22+%22air+fleet%22 I hope this is precisely what you need. If anything is unclear or incomplete, please request clarification; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before you rate my answer. Best regards, pinkfreud |
