Cound EI continue to operate a UK-US service once the Brexit transition period completes at the end of the year?

I don't really understand whats happening with regards to Brexit. Aer Lingus seam to be permitted to operate services from Belfast to Great Britain after the end of the year. (In other words UK domestic services). According to the internet Irish citizens who want to live and work in the UK after the end of the year can do so without a visa or anything. So maybe we are going back to the Common Travel Area days i.e. before the EU.
Before the United Kingdom joined the EU Aer Lingus did operate some services from GB to mainland Europe.
The question I would have is why would they want to start flying EDI etc to the USA now. I mean its not as if British Citizens can travel to the USA easily right now?
