Long Haul
I see US Airways is back with Dublin-Charlotte in May, American Airlines is back, Emirates 777 from July, Air Canada back in June, Air Transat Dublin-Montreal back in May with Toronto all ready back
Also on Delta's website it says that the Dublin-Atlanta route is to be operated with an a330 like last summer. Any confirmation on this ?

New routes 2013
I know its a bit early yet but is there any news regarding new 2013 flights ? How likely is it that Qatar Airways start a Doha service or Air India start Mumbai or Delhi ? any new Aer lingus rumours ? Maybe a resumption of the Californian routes ?

I see Ryanair's route from Dublin to Frankfurt Hahn which operates at just 4 services per week matches that of Kerry also Knock-Irl West receives 3 services per week from Hahn. Surely theres more demand ex-DUB with FR to Hahn? or is the competition with LH/EI to FRA just too strong for FR?

At times it has being cheaper to fly EI to FRA than FR to HHN. Would think yield per passenger is very high and FR may keep it at 4 weekly to maintain this. Only difference its 4 weekly year round where as KIR is 3 in winter. I have used it a few times and Loads ranged from full to 60/70%. The time of the flights are good as DUB-FRA with LH/EI are more less at the same times.
How are FR doing with daily BUD service? EI seem to be doing very well.

Bomb Alert
I understand a Delta flight has diverted to Dublin with reports of a bomb on board, I understand it has been parked in an isolated area with Gardai and bomb experts en-route. No other info at this time!
Update:
Armed Gardai have boarded Delta flight 73 from Istanbul to New York (JFK) operated by a B763, Captain alerted Shannon Control that there was suspicious movements in the Cabin and believed a ''package'' was aboard, unconfirmed reports a passenger was restrained by crew and passengers before the emergency landing at Dublin.

Just reported it was a mobile phone wrapped in packaging plugged into a socket in the toilet, passenger was released without charge. Flight is being refuelled and will continue on to JFK.

Air France have full control of the route now, although still operated by Cityjet, AF can use there own aircraft if they wish. When bookings are high they tend to use there own. Route can only be booked on AF webstie and not Cityjet one anymore. London City and Pau are not affected by the charges.
