@Refullerman,
EI's arguably a small airline, but weak? that's hardly accurate.
Aer Lingus made a profit of €269m [in 2017], up €36m in 2016.

A strong performance at Aer Lingus helped drive growth at its parent last year, International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG), the latest figures show.
Figures published on Thursday show that Aer Lingus grew at the fastest rate of the group’s carriers.
