Have to agree with the statements regarding brand on these speculated new routes. Aer Lingus will not allow new operations under their brand from Carlisle or Southend or anywhere in the UK to anywhere excluding routes which would operate to Ireland. Also I doubt they're going to use the Aer Arann AOC this is used at present i.e. Callsign and the designator RE for charter services. And as has been said the fleet and new fleet is tied up to committed expansion agreed with Aer Lingus until 2022 so unless Stobart are going to buy further new aircraft.
