Regarding TOM at Dublin does anyone know what aircraft they will base this summer? And do they have DUB based cabin crew again?
Is it also TOM who will operate Dublin - Larnaca ?

Racedo, thats rubbish - Go back 40 years to 1970 racedo, and see the changes in Dublin airport.
Ireland will come out of this recession, and will start growing - we will be over 25m by 2020 without question.

That was with an economy growing massively, a returning population and a start of people travelling.
The expectations that the growth rates between 1970 and 2010 will apply between 2010 and 2050 is laughable.
The era of 1 cent flights is over for good as Govt see it as an opportunity to tax and the inward flow of migrants seen in decade since 2000 is over.
Its probable by 2025 that €50 will be the minimum tax payable on any flight as EU seeks to kill the golden goose.

Racedo - Between now and 2050, Just 1.5% growth annually is needed to grow from 20m to 35m. By any paramaters, that is a sustainable growth level.
At 3% - hardly earth shattering growth - 35m is reached in 2031 and 25m by 2020.
The era of 1c flights is over because:
1) FR and EI are going for margin over loads
2) Fuel prices
Great to see that in a recession, both EI and FR can increase fares and load factors.
very probably true - considering EI and FR are already there.

Problem is Dublin is nowhere near 20 million passengers and will not be for a considerable time.
The era of cheap flights and weekends away is over, the Irish economy still has a lot of bloodletting to do in the Public sector and on welfare recipients so this will reduce spend available over next 5 years.
My comment regarding Tax I think you misunderstood as the €50 is what will be the Govts / EU take not the airlines price.

Ryanair market share in 2011 dropped from 41% to 39% while Aer Lingus increased its share from 37% to 41%.

It's at 19 million atm, how is that nowhere near 20 million?
Was thinking that myself... just booked Malaga out with EI and back with FR for October.
Remember a few years ago at Dublin when EI were expanding and FR in dispute with the DAA FR gave in and announced a major expansion....Dublin is still important for FR even though MOL is not too keen to say so....

EI are expanding in areas that are not served by FR mainly and the regional accounts for a lot and they can compete with FR just fine.

Somebody in Aer Lingus ( I can't remember exactly who) a few years ago said nobody knows how to compete with Ryanair like us, and its coming to fruition. On the point of regional, just look how they are now competing on the GLA-DUB, never thought I would see FR sidelined so much at PIK, where even GO couldn't hit them.

Yup it rose 310,000 pax in 2011 v 2010 but 2010 had impact of Iceland volcano and when you strip that out from April and May you still heading backwards.............

For me at least, I've had a pretty miserable FR experience, and as a direct consequence I now only use them as a last resort; if any other airline has suitable flights at suitable times then I will use them; cost really doesn't matter to me (within reason).
I wonder how many other people feel the same way...
